Girl 27

"Girl 27" is a 2007 documentary film about Patricia Douglas's 1937 rape at a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer exhibitors' convention. The film explores the studio's cover-up of the crime and its impact on public attitudes toward sexual assault in 1930s Hollywood, using first-person interviews with Douglas and vintage footage and music. Director David Stenn's personal pursuit of Douglas and their resulting friendship is a consistent theme throughout the documentary, which also delves into similar assaults on singer Eloise Spann and actress Loretta Young's daughter Judy Lewis.
