I Accuse My Parents

Neglected teenager Jimmy Wilson (Robert Lowell) meets nightclub singer Kitty Reed (Mary Beth Hughes) and falls into her world of decadence, gambling and shady business deals. Kitty's boss, Mr. Blake (George Meeker), offers Jimmy a job "running errands" and he falls into a life of crime. Returning home to rectify his dark past, Jimmy confronts Blake and accidentally kills him in a struggle. On a trial for murder, he accuses his parents of mistreatment for his life gone wrong. A juvenile delinquency morality tale from Producer's Releasing Corporation, "I Accuse My Parents" was a classic exploitation film of the era, and was originally presented as a stern warning to parents.
