THE WAYWARD GIRL (a.k.a. UNG FLUKT) 1959
Norwegian film. Acting debut of Liv Ullmann. A provocative JD "Bad Girl" film that goes much farther than its American counterparts of the era. The fiery "youth on the run" storyline centers on a bad girl with loose morals. The young Gerd (Liv Ullmann) drinks Coke, smokes incessantly, lives for the cinema, and jives to jazz in dive bars. Jaded and restless at home, and faced with an overbearing mother, she falls in with a bad crowd: a local crime gang that threatens to bring about her downfall.

Gerd's middle-class boyfriend Anders (Atle Merton) begs her to flee the city with him and so they run off to a cabin in the countryside. Used to the sensory excitement of the city—of boys and nightclubs and dancing—the simplicity of this pastoral idyll at first holds little attraction for Gerd. Gradually, however, the wonders of the natural world begin to soften her hard-boiled city soul and she succumbs to its delights. But happiness doesn’t last long, as temptation soon arrives at the door.

Something of a precursor to the wilder declarations of the '60s sexual revolution, The Wayward Girl fed into the mythology of the sexually liberated Scandinavian that would prove such a success both domestically and abroad. Liv Ullmann, Atle Merton, Rolf Søder, Nanna Stenersen, Randi Brænne, Tore Foss, Egil Hjorth-Jenssen, Ingrid Øvre, Ola B. Johannessen, Bjørn Jenseg. Norwegian language with English subtitles.
