Girls of the Latin Quarter is a 1960 British second feature ('B')[1] musical film directed by Alfred Travers and starring Bernard Hunter, Jill Ireland and Sheldon Lawrence.[2] [3] [4] Itwas written by Brad Ashton, Alfred Travers and DIck Vosburgh.
Under the terms of a will, a young man stands to inherit a fortune if he can he turn the prospects of the family farm around. He comes up with a scheme to raise money by putting on a Show.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Almost everything about this film is shoddy. Even the editing, lighting, colour and sound quality cannot maintain acceptable standards. After oafish comedy scenes, primitively directed, the story tails off in a series of floor show turns, interspersed with: drunken gambollings by Bernard Hunter. The film seems to be an attempt to display the attractiveness and sophistication of the Latin Quarter night-club and its clientele, but the bungling direction makes both look rather silly."[5]
