	Movies - Jail Bait

Jail Bait is a 1954 Ed Wood crime film starring Wood's then-girlfriend Dolores Fuller and Lyle Talbot. The "jail bait" of the title does not refer to an underaged girl, but to the illicit handgun that drives the plot.

There are two different versions of the movie: one with a striptease sequence, and the other with a blackface minstrel comedy routine. The version with the striptease sequence is often released on video editions as the "director's cut."
