Sweet Substitute, retitled Caressed in the United States, is a Canadian drama film, directed by Larry Kent and released in 1964.[1]
The film centres on Tom (Bob Howay), a high school student whose efforts to secure an academic scholarship to university are complicated by his sexual compulsions.[2] He is caught in a love triangle between Elaine (Angela Gann), a prim and proper girl who is saving herself for marriage, and Kathy (Carol Pastinsky), a more sexually available girl whom Tom impregnates.[3]
It was a Canadian Film Award nominee for Best Picture at the 17th Canadian Film Awards in 1965, but did not win.
