Trivia
One of the juvenile delinquent inmates says she's restyling her hair to look like Doris Day--an in-joke reference to producer Martin Melcher's then-wife.

Goofs
When Cuckoo removes the wooden box with the baby from the car, nothing is on the sides of the box; when the girls are taking care of him in their room, the evaporated-milk brand name emblazons the box's sides and end panels.

Quotes
Mrs. Nichols: Betsy Abel. Two months ago she had an illegitimate baby, a baby boy, who is now in the custody of her mother. Her mother's boyfriend is a taxi driver with a police record. The girl won't tell who the father is; so, we have another inmate. She's assigned to your cottage. Well, I suppose we better look the little criminal over.

The story of a 25 year-old teenager.

The title to this film is odd, as it's NOT the story of one girl but of a group of teens who are incarcerated in a juvenile residential home. The title character is played by Susan Oliver....a 'teen' who was 25 at the time the film was released!

The story is an odd one as at first it seems like an exploitation film (the scene with 'Cuckoo' and the window is classic exploitation fodder) and then backs off from this. And, overall, I am not exactly sure what the message really was in this film. In fact, that there is no message...no moral...that does make the film unique...but also unsatisfying as well. An odd little film.
