Monika, the Story of a Bad Girl!

Everybody's Talking About Monika!

In 1955, Kroger Babb illegally acquired and distributed Ingmar Bergman's Summer with Monika (1953) in the U.S., making some major changes to apply it to the exploitation market. He renamed the film to Monika, the Story of a Bad Girl!, cut it down to 64 minutes, dubbed it over with English voices, and added a melodramatic score by Les Baxter. One scene can be found that was censored from the original cut of Bergman's film.
