Street Girls (1975)

Couldn't find a good picture from movie, but here's where
one scene was filmed, although it was snowing
in the movie.

Maybe that's what the place was like in the early '70's.

I came across a rather seedy movie on Tubi, released in 1975, called Street Girls. A father comes to Eugene, Oregon, looking for his daughter who had gone away to college. He didn't know that she had become a stripper and a prostitute.

The father goes to a strip club and loves it. I thought the scene would end with him realizing that the girl he was leering at was his daughter, but no such luck.

I didn't know we had strippers and prostitutes here back then, but I was 12 or 13. How would I have known.

The movie was made during the urban renewal craze, so there were buildings that had been torn down and not yet replaced. They mentioned the Smeede Hotel which was an office building at that point, one of the few old buildings they didn't bulldoze. They really wrecked downtown. 

Made three years before Animal House which made the town look so much better.

The script was co-written by Barry Levinson who was assistant director. It wasn't a regional film. Made for $35 thousand, about $200 thousand today.

A lot of nudity, prostitution, drug use and human trafficking.
