Born to Be Loved

Was She Too Young...OR TOO AFRAID?

NR 1959 · 82 min · ★ 5.6 · Comedy, Romance

Director Hugo Haas reprises the theme of romantic love in this routine yet innocent story of matchmaking. The setting is an overcrowded tenement building in which the residents seem to live beyond the reach of muggers or drug dealers or trigger-happy gangs because they mingle and mix in the halls as they energetically interact with each other.
