The Young One (1960)

Luis Buñuel directs Zachary Scott, Bernie Hamilton and Key Meersman in this drama where an underage orphan girl finds herself pulled between a lecherous caretaker and a black musician on the run.

Race and lust in a garden of Eden (of sorts). Simple for Buñuel yet pretty exciting. Morally complex for its time.
