Baby Love (1968) DVD

This rare, controversial feature marked the big-screen debut not only of future Hammer and Confessions... star Linda Hayden but also of BAFTA- and Emmy award-winning director Alastair Reid, whose acclaimed credits include Traffik and Selling Hitler.

Brought up in slums, fifteen-year-old Luci is orphaned when her mother commits suicide. A successful doctor who was once in love with her mother invites Luci to live with him and his family in their luxurious home.
