An early work (1975) before he came to the US. Adapted from a prize-winning account written by a woman whose family moved to Amsterdam in the late 1800's. They were poor and outrageously abused by nearly everyone they dealt with...the girls usually sexually. The first hour seemed like a never-ending litany of people being mean to Katie. Was this accurate or her imaginative exaggeration looking back?
While streetwalking she solicits a man who needs a model for painting and her life takes a better turn.
The production was first rate in all respects. It's easy to see why hollywood wanted him but by far his better work was done before he left home.
