How cute is Stephanie Powers? I may have seen this film before, but I have no memory of it. It’s like seeing a brand new movie from 52 - yes, FIFTY-TWO years ago.

Young Stephanie Powers in ‘The Young Sinner’
‘Young Sinner’ Prelim Box Art
It is still very early in the production process, we still have a lot of work to do restoring the picture and sound, but I couldn’t resist putting together some preliminary cover art. Our preliminary restoration work suggest the picture is going to polish up beautifully.
