6 songs in the Soundtracks.

SD does not have a great singing voice, and she's delivering the songs.

Yes, the title refers to pregnancy, unwed, and they use the word. She knows who the father is, but refuses to tell him. Hence the 3 men who are willing to marry her.

It's not great comedy, but engaging enough. This can be cited as a film that needs a rating.

Nichelle Nichols is near the beginning of her Star Trek tenure ('66-'69); plays a secretary here.
