After reading the distrubing movie thread I remembered one that bugs me still but I can’t remember the name of it
What I do remember is
A) It was on USA, possibly USA up all night
B) It was set in about the 1800’s -1900
C) It had a man that was a photographer
D) He was in a house with alot of girls, and I think fell in love with one that was about 9( which was why it disturbed me because I was roughly the same age)
E) It showed him photographing her nude, as in you the veiwer could see her nude
F) they played a game of blind mans bluff
This is everything that I remember, but I also remember wondering how they could show this on tv because it was pretty graphic with the childs nudity. But it was Definatley on USA, because Gilbert Godfried kept on popping in when commercials came on. Anyone have a clue?
hmm…Gilbert Godfried, naked 9 year olds…not gonna sleep well tonight!!
What you describe sounds like a telling (fictional biography) of Lewis Carroll the author. He was an avid photographer.
This isn’t GQ - so no need to be factual if I could - or GD - so no need to debate LC’s character.
I’ll just drop a link:

…and alas I don’t know the movie you may be referring to. The image you present of Gilbert Gottfried popping up gives me the creeps.
Sounds kind of Like Pretty Baby (1978)–starring Brooke Shields and Keith Carradine, directed by Louis Malle.

Definitely Pretty Baby. Louis Malle had a genius for making good movies from material that should normally give you the creeps.
As I recall, the house was a whorehouse.
And Brooke Shield’s mother caught a lot of flack for allowing her to appear nude in the movie – she was the young girl in question, although I don’t think she was 9.
Since she was born in 65’ and it came out in 78’, she was 13.
Thanks for the answer folks, and also thanks for the Lewis carrol link as well, I didn’t know that about him
The photographer depicted was E. J. Bellocq, who photographed prostituted in the New Orleans area called Storyville at the turn of the 20th Century.
