Under Age is a 1964 black-and-white film written and directed by Larry Buchanan and starring Annabelle Weenick, Judy Adler and Roland Royter. [2] The film was shot in Dallas, Texas.
A woman from Dallas goes on trial, charged with encouraging her 14-year-old daughter to have sex with a 16-year-old Mexican boy. [1] [3] [4]
Under Age was produced by American International Pictures (AIP). [1] Following the success of Buchanan's previous courtroom drama Free, White and 21, AIP co-founder Samuel Z. Arkoff encouraged the filmmakers to create a similar film specifically targeted at young people. [1] The plot was based on a real-life court case in which a woman, Wanda Duckworth, was found guilty of rape and jailed for encouraging her 15-year-old daughter to have sex with a 17-year-old male. [1] A number of actors from Free, White and 21 returned for this film, playing the same characters. [1] [5]
Under Age was given a minor release by AIP. [1] When the film did poorly in theaters, Buchanan said he would never again do a "courtroom picture," though due to current events he soon made The Trial of Lee Harvey Oswald. [5]
