Portrait of a Stripper
The title may make you think it's just some crappy film about some stripper, but this is a terrific film about a widow mother trying to stop her father-in-law from trying to take her son because of her profession, a profession she only took to support her son. Lesley Ann Warren delivered a great performance in this film.

(Also, I am the 15th person to give this film a review, just thought that was neat)
