Three Pretty Devils

About This Movie

Three Pretty Devils (1970) dives into the gritty underbelly of youth, capturing a raw slice of life. The film follows three teenage girls as they navigate the chaotic world of shoplifting and prostitution, embodying a sense of rebellion but also the harsh consequences that come with it. The pacing is a bit uneven, swinging between frenetic energy and darker, quieter moments that really emphasize the weight of their choices. The performances, particularly from the leads, feel authentic, and there’s a certain rough charm to how the practical effects are handled. It's a film that doesn’t shy away from the uncomfortable, and that’s pretty distinctive for its time.

Three Pretty Devils has seen a limited release since its 1970 debut, making it a bit of a hidden gem among collectors. The scarcity of original prints adds to its allure, with some fans actively hunting for rare copies. Its unique tone and themes resonate with those interested in the edgier side of 70s cinema, and it has garnered a niche following who appreciate its portrayal of teenage angst and socio-economic struggles.
