Pretty Baby (film)

Pretty Baby is a 1978 historical fiction dramatic movie directed by Louis Malle. The screenplay was written by Polly Platt. The title is inspired by the Tony Jackson song, which is used in the soundtrack.

Controversy

In addition to the subject of child prostitution, some ire was raised because of scenes involving a 12-year-old Brooke Shields appearing nude. Because of this, the 109 minute film was edited down to 106 minutes in some releases. The unedited version of the film is now available on DVD, but there is controversy amongst its fans becauses of differences in film dimensions, leading some people to believe that the film was either incorrectly matted or the victim of false letterboxing.
