Friday, September 24 - The Flesh Is Weak (1957)

The Flesh Is Weak (1957)

Marissa is new to London and is in need of work. Considering she's from Italy, has no family in the UK and is a bit dim, she's a perfect recruit for Tony Giani (John Derek). But he's clever and subtle. He doesn't approach her and say "how about becoming a ho?" but instead befriends her and she falls in love with him. Only then does he trap her into turning her first trick for him, as he tells her he's in financial trouble and will go to jail unless he can quickly raise some money! The rest of the film is about Marissa's time working for Tony as well as after she leaves him, as Tony's not about to allow any of his 'property' to get away scot free!
