Who's That Knocking at My Door
Movie • 1967
ReportSynopsis
J.R. is a typical Italian-American on the streets of New York. When he gets involved with a local girl, he decides to get married and settle down, but when he learns that she was once raped, he cannot handle it. More explicitly linked with Catholic guilt that Scorsese's later work, we see what happens to J.R. when his religious guilt catches up with him.

JR objectifies women, classifying them as “girls” (virgins) and “broads” (non-virgins), whilst also having sexual fantasies about them
