What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • Made in 1943: an older pace and style.

Tired of always playing the same roles, Little Red Riding Hood, her grandmother and the Wolf demand a new version of the tale. The story then plays out in a more contemporary urban environment, with Little Red Riding Hood working as a pin-up girl in a night club.
