It's astounding that a film like this was made with a very under-aged Brooke Shields. I think it's a terrible tragedy to put a child in a movie like this. I am certain that psychological damage was inflicted on Brooke Shields as a child that had been subject to this kind of abuse. No child male or female should ever be made to undress and perform in a film for adults. Fortunately, laws are in place today forbidding the sexual exploitation of minors. With luck and compassion from the general public, no 13 year old girl will ever be made to perform in this kind of movie again. Though the film was well-made, placing a 13 year old girl in this role pretty much amounts to child pornography.
