Teenage Tramp (1973)

Teenage Tramp: Directed by Anton Holden. With Robin Lane, Alisha Fontaine, Anthony Massena, Don Jarrell. Wayward and uninhibited young runaway Kim has fallen in with a bad crowd. Kim decides to flee said crowd and goes to the west coast to reunite herself with her uptight and neurotic estranged older sister Hilary so she can collect some of the inheritance left behind by their deceased parents. However, evil drug dealer Maury and his flock follow Kim to Hilary’s house.

“To my surprise they absolutely nailed it. Cumberbatch is a fantastic choice for Sherlock Holmes-he is physically right (he fits the traditional reading of the character) and he is a damn good actor. Martin Freeman, about whom I wasnu0026#39;t sure at first, is an excellent foil for Holmes without being the dumb sidekick that Dr Watson has often been. I thought that this series would not work, particularly after Robert Downeyu0026#39;s interesting take on Conan Doyleu0026#39;s characterisation. I have been proved so wrong-it moved along at a good pace and held the attention brilliantly. My wife started by saying she didnu0026#39;t like it but by the end of the episode she was as enthralled as I. We are both looking forward to the rest of the series, if it is as entertaining as the first story. I was disappointed to read some reviews here that did not love it. Methinks they are too jaded to enjoy anything.”
