Aroview: Ann-Margaret brings white-hot intensity to this cult classic about a teenage girl on the run from the law who blackmails a clueless Senatorial candidate, who falls hard for her charms while trying to keep a clean image.

A blackly comic take on the home invasion genre in gorgeous black and white, which takes the woman-in-peril cliche to heights never seen before, brilliantly preempting the sexploitation craze of the late-60's (and the modern-day political sex scandals of Anthony Weiner et al?).
