In today's episode, we explore a film called Blue Denim, made in 1959. In the 1950s, the censorship code was altered to allow for more frank discussions of abortion; but just how explicit could they be? We also focus on the figure of the pregnant 'juvenile delinquent' and how the marriage plot is designed to turn her into a 'good' respectable girl again.Follow the TSF podcast on Instagram, @teenscreenfem!
