Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

aloha-from-ritaanne While subject matter etc. is often reviewed (hence my 10 of 10), I am truly impressed with you for understanding what it took to reach thru this woman. At 1st my concern was that of "another story pusher" but I realized as the film cont. & you were in Vegas when she couldn't come up- you got her. I knew then that she may have started as a "story" but to you she was more than the just the incident. Just as she needed the world to know that they didn't just take her sexual innocence but they took her soul. My passion is because I know you got that because I am a survivor of rape that follows her course as far as my treatment as the victim including my mother. This was back in the 70's & treatment of girls/women was horrible. Thank you for introducing this woman to me. Thank you for you caring for her. Thank you that the love she could never give nor receive she experienced as a result of you prior to her passing. Your film has moved me to do this- write a review in hopes it is actually seen by the director/creator.

Michael_Elliott Girl 27 (2007) **** (out of 4) Rather sad documentary taking a look at a 1937 MGM case where Patricia Douglas was hired to appear in a movie at Hal Roach Studios but instead she was raped by a man and the crime was eventually covered up. This case made headlines at the time as Douglas was attacked but then the case pretty much went away for over six decades until director David Stenn heard about the case and was able to locate the woman. I've seen quite a few documentaries on MGM and it's clear looking at the studio today that they owned Los Angeles and that they weren't afraid to do harmful things (look at Judy Garland) or cover things up. This story here is just downright shocking because it makes everything so clear that MGM was calling the shots on everything and they were strong enough to have cops, politicians and lawyers in their pockets. I think what's so sad about this movie is the interview with the then 85-year-old Douglas who is clearly still haunted by the events that happened to her when she was 17. Seeing how this event damaged her life is just sad and seeing and hearing from her daughter isn't any more happy. The film has a very low-budget that does effect it somewhat but it never takes away from the power of the story. I also really liked how the director shows how the system worked back in the day and this includes showing how Douglas was being attacked by the media while Loretta Young was allowed to lie about an adoption when everyone knew that Clark Gable and her had the kid. Their daughter, Judy Lewis, is interviewed here as is Peggy Montgomery (aka Baby Peggy) who talks about the trouble that girls found themselves in at the studio. GIRL 27 is high drama from start to finish and I think it's an important story to tell no matter how ugly that story is.

ImTheDeadGirl This is a true glimpse at life and how fragile it really can be. A young virgin, raped. Then the covered up by powerful, greedy, vicious men with no regard for just one girl. I loved this film more than I can say. I fell in love with Patricia! I adore her and feel for every single tragic life experience and painful moment she suffered. She was wonderful and the film maker is incredibly kind, patient, honest and wonderful in his story telling of her life. I loved what he's done here. To bring something out of a woman who's covered it up for 65 years, is a credit to him. No wonder Jackie O suggested he continue on his journey to the end with .....Patricia rip beautiful girl.

Jochen Lotke What does happen when an interesting story is ruined by a man who just cannot keep out of the shadows and must (simply MUST) always leap centre stage? Well it looks a bit like Girl 27.I think I am kinder than some other reviewers who give this film a one (but maybe not than those who think this is the best film of all time --- maybe the director or his friends eh?) this isn't terrible really, just fairly bad. The story, however, saves it from being awful - it is quite compelling blend of misogyny and studio politics with a victim who is left a ruin.Its his first film I think so maybe he will learn to focus more on the subject of a documentary and not to grab the attention so much for the next effort.Jochen L.
