Monika, the Story of a Bad Girl! poster
NR

In 1955, Kroger Babb illegally acquired and distributed Ingmar Bergman's Summer with Monika (1953) in the U.S., making some major changes to apply it to the exploitation market. He renamed the film to Monika, the Story of a Bad Girl!, cut it down to 64 minutes, dubbed it over with English voices, and added a melodramatic score by Les Baxter. One scene can be found that was censored from the original cut of Bergman's film.

The Lawton Story poster
10.0

Most of the footage is devoted to the annual Passion Play at Lawton, Oklahoma, enacted by volunteers from several nearby communities. This portion of The Lawton Story was directed by Harold Daniels and narrated by radio announcer Knox Manning. To bring the film up to feature length, a fictional plotline concerning the preparations for the pageant was hastily assembled, featuring such familiar Hollywood character players as Forrest Taylor, Willa Pearl Curtis and Maude Eburne.
