Teenage Mother (1967)


Rated GP, what they used to call PG, when it came out. A Swedish high school health teacher comes to America. She's sexually assaulted by the school drug dealer. A father blames her when his daughter pretends to be pregnant although it sounded like girls got pregnant all the time there.

It really didn't make any sense.

With Fred Willard in an early role as the coach. 

"Health education being taught by a woman," Willard says. "That's something new."

He announces that Health Education will now be called Anatomical Biology, "a study of what makes up the differences between man and woman and the various functions their bodies perform."

"Yeah, man!" exclaims a 35-year-old teenager. 

"All right, that's enough of that," says Fred Willard.

There was little hint of his future screen persona.

Ends with medical film showing the use of forceps in childbirth which was what the whole thing was leading up to.

Free on Tubi.
