Little Miss Red (1970)

Young Redina Williams has already been through the worst life has to offer, and ever since her mother and little sister passed away in a tragic accident, her father has blamed her for it from that moment on. In search of a new life, she ventures out to New York City in hopes of following in her mother's footsteps as a musician, although her past doesn't stay back in Texas like she desperately hoped it would. While in New York, she meets Grace Vandeloure, a French chorus girl for Jiano Bianchi's infamous speakeasy club. Grace takes Redina under her wing and they go on to share a special sister like bond, while Jiano's manipulative tactics attempt to control them for his own criminal advantage.
