The movie follows the story of Al Pereira (played by Keith Carradine), a photographer who runs a brothel in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Al's life is turned upside down when his wife dies, and he is left to care for their young son, Rusty (played by Christopher Walken, not exactly, but rather a young boy named Rusty, played by a then 12-year-old actor, but at the center of film a then-12 year old Shields) alongside his concubine, Violet (played by Susan Sarandon).
The performances in the film are exceptional, particularly from Brooke Shields, who was only 12 years old during filming. Her portrayal of Rusty, a precocious and vulnerable young boy, is both captivating and heartbreaking. mshahdt fylm Pretty Baby 1978 mtrjm awn layn - fydyw lfth
