The film quality may be lacking from a cinematic perspective but when you measure the film against the seedy backdrop of strip bars, back alleys and low rental apartment buildings where most of the film scenes were taken than you get the feeling that the director was attempting to make the film as realistic as possible. It is possible that maybe the film director and/or producer have experienced some of the seedier part of drugs and poverity in their personal lives or know someone close to them who has lived it on the streets and brought their reality to the screen.
With the abundance of drugs and alcohol that are readily available, and the ease of pimps and their Johns to find women who are willing to satisfy their own drug related needs with sex then the film Street Girls needed to be developed if only to remind vulnerable young women what can happen to them if they fall victime to becoming street girls themselves. The fathers persistence in attempting to find the truth what has happened to his baby girl was more relaistic than hiring a 1970's TV detective such as Columbo, Kojak or Starsky and Hutch.
This may not be a film classic but it certainly is a story that needed to be told and in my humble opinion should be shown to teenagers 14 and older (even though there is some nudity) to dissuade them from participating in recreational drug use.
I give the film a middle of the road 5 out of 10 IMDb rating.
