Her gym teacher takes pity on Carrie’s innocence and explains the facts of life to her. When Carrie goes home and tells her mom about her life change, her mother freaks out like the girl had been selling herself on a street corner. This condemning, violent over-reaction (Her mother equates menses with sin) is very traumatizing for Carrie who can think of nothing to stop her mother, and who is obviously unable to control nature taking it’s course.

Meanwhile the girls who had teased Carrie in the shower, are being given detention, with the threat of no prom if they fail to go to detention all week. Christine (Nancy Allen) the class bully and instigator to the attack, storms out regardless. Sue (Amy Irving – also in Carrie2), one of the other girls, feels horrible when she realizes that the poor Carrie had no idea what was happening. She wants to make things up to her by forgoing the prom and having her boyfriend (William Katt- Greatest American Hero) ask Carrie instead. He talks a few times to “the weird girl” discovering that she is just shy and innocent, so he agrees to do as his girlfriend has asked. Unfortunately unbeknownst to them, Christine, now banned from the prom, is planning a wicked revenge with her boyfriend Billy (John Travolta – Grease).

The post Carrie appeared first on Classic TV and Movies.

The date is December 13, 1941, only six days after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The United States is in morning and fear has gripped its citizen when a Japanese submarine surfaces just off the coast of southern California. Commanded by Akiro Mitamura with a Nazi observer, Wolfgang von Kleinschmidt, in tow they embark upon a mission to obtain honor. They decide that they must attack Hollywood and the result is pure hysterical hijynx that leaves you scratching your head wondering who won and who lost the fight.

Nudity, foul language and mature themes.
