At every turn, she faced pressure get rid of her baby. No spoiler alert here, just in case you do get a chance to see it, but the official trailer, however quaint, focused on the scandal of out-of-wedlock pregnancy, and left Ms. Caron looking rather feeble. In fact, she was rather fierce, and quite witty in her role. I felt that I should make my own trailer, and if you&#8217;re interested you can see it <a title=\"Richard's home-made trailer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zHeg6AIvbj0\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Thanks to all who came out on another cold cold night.
