Teenage Mother (also known as The Hygiene Story) is a 1967 American exploitation film directed by Jerry Gross and starring Arlene Sue Farber.[1] It is about teenage pregnancy, hygiene and a graphic actualization of birth. It was billed as "The film that dares to explain what most parents can't."[1] It marked Fred Willard's film debut.

Reception

An author likened the film to a grindhouse edition of the 2007 film, Juno.[2][3]

In a brief interview on the DVD extras of the 2007 documentary film Heckler, Willard reported that the audience at one screening of the film booed when his character interrupted an attempted sexual assault of the female lead character.
