Go Ask Alice 1973 clip

Clip(first few minutes)from the 1973 TV movie.
Based on the best-selling book, GO ASK ALICE recounts a young girl's ultimately fatal experiences with drugs in the early 1970s.This above-average TV movie starred Jamie Smith-Jackson who portrays a shy, slightly overweight high schooler who is so anxious for acceptance that she falls in with the drug crowd.
In a methodical, almost casual matter, we see how Alice goes from being a nice girl to a lost soul in a world of pushers, pimps and prostitution.To make the point that this could be the story of any impressionable youth, few of the characters are identified by name: Julie Adams plays "The Mother," William Shatner "The Professor," Andy Griffith "The Priest," and so on.
Although it may seem outdated by the film standards of today's youth, This movie is as relevant today as it was in 1973.Maybe even more so.
