This Attempted Cash-In on the Headlines Like "Juvenile Delinquency" and "Hot Rods",
Commits 2 of the No-No Sins...
Deliver On What You are Selling...Never be Boring.
This Lackluster, Lame, Message-Movie is Wrought with Wrong-Head Writing, Presentation and Remains an Embarrassing Entry in Mid-50's "Teen" Exploitation.
The "Rebels Without a Cause" had Good Causes Indeed.
Explore Life, Have Fun, and Express Yourself.
Following on Their Jitterbugging Foot-Steps were the "Establishment"...It saw and Opportunity...To Make Money Selling Books, Records, Movies, and More.
Juveniles, as a Generation, also had for the First-Time Ever...
Disposable Money to Burn.
Their were Plenty of Cons in the Products that were Designed to Attract Audiences in the Newly Exploitable Generation.
This was One of Them.
Making a Movie that, through Advertising, would put Denim in the Seats in Droves. Then Gave Them a Sermon on the Evils of "Hot-Rods", "Drag Racing" and"Leather Jackets".
Yea, that's why They went to the Drive-Ins and Theatres...Not.
The Film Shows a Couple of Street Races in the most Luke-Warm Fashion.
The Drag Races at the Showcased Track are Mysteriously Absent.
That's Enough Examples. But there are Many More.
Hopefully more Fans of this Type will Speak-Out about its Ineptitude.
Skip this one to Avoid Suffering and Find Some other JD Movies that are...
Worth a Watch.... This One is NOT.
