"We're the law in these here mountains."
Child Bride claimed to be an expose of the lack of laws banning child marriage in many US states at the time. A claim undermined by a gratuitous nude scene featuring a 12 year old actress. The plot revolves around school teacher Miss Carol (Diana Durrell) and her determination to stop the practice of child marriage. It's padded out with some feuding over stills, especially with bad 'un Jake Bolby (Warner Richmond), and his pursuit of the underage Jennie Colton (Shirley Mills).
Not a bad film as such, its made well enough, but one that shamelessly uses all the hillbilly cliche's it can along the way.
