Look in Any Window sounds like a prequel to Peeping Tom, or at least heavily inspired by it since it came out a year later. The Young Stranger sounds intriguing.Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634519605152190304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-87831963631465000552018-06-22T00:43:49.878-04:002018-06-22T00:43:49.878-04:00HOLY SHIT I need to see all of these immediately. ...HOLY SHIT I need to see all of these immediately.

I've ...Well that's quite a collection Dell! I've only seen Malibu High which is really a salacious sideshow. I have seen the 50's version of Reform School Girl, though its probably a different story with a similar title and much tamer. <br /><br />I decided to do a throwback to bygone days when the juvie pix turned out with lurid titles are now riotously dated though I included my last which is a thoughtful look at the issue for balance.<br /><br />Youth Runs Wild (1944)-While Mom and Dad are busy at the production plants making the tools to win WWII the kids are home and being neglected and the first thing you know “Youth Runs Wild!!!!” Horror meister Val Lewton (Cat People, I Walked with a Zombie) produced, though disavowed this studio reworked version, this mild teen rebellion film where the biggest sins are tire swiping and other minor infractions until a rather violent conclusion. Still somewhat surprising to see this type of film in the 40’s where young people were almost always presented as sweet, compliant angels.<br /><br />High School Hellcats (1958)-Joyce (Yvonne Lime) is the new girl in school and on her first day she is confronted by Connie (Jana Lund) the leader of the Hellcat gang. Connie tells her she can join the gang or be ostracized and we’re off on a round of shoplifting, kissing parties and murder! Starts off as a mild little cautionary tale but considering there’s a body count it goes on a wilder ride than expected. The kind of film to be found at the local drive-in in the 50’s.<br /><br />Look in Any Window (1961)-Teen idol Paul Anka plays “The Masked Prowler” a teen Peeping Tom who scales the fences of town residents wearing a frightening mask while his parents and their neighbors drink and carouse amongst themselves ignoring their children. Sensationalist with mostly over the top performances (though Ruth Roman is good as Anka’s mother) but Anka’s compulsion to voyeurism feels disturbingly prescient of an incipient serial killer or rapist. <br /><br />The Young Stranger (1957)-Rebellious well to do teenager Hal (James MacArthur), a decent boy at heart, is arrested for punching a theatre manager at a movie theater which he truthfully claims was self-defense. The problems begin when Hal’s father (James Daly), an inattentive parent at best, doesn’t believe him leading to an even further estrangement and Hal acting out. Tom’s mother (Kim Hunter) tries to forge some sort of understanding between them before their hostility leads to worse issues. John Frankenheimer’s (The Manchurian Candidate) first theatrical film is an even handed account of the isolation and antipathy that often leads to juvenile delinquency. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-55704450332810358042018-06-21T00:18:22.268-04:002018-06-21T00:18:22.268-04:00I'm amazed that I haven't seen any of thos...I'm amazed that I haven't seen any of those films and I should kick myself for that. I heard about how cool <i>Switchblade Sisters</i> was and I do want to see <i>Reform School Girls</i> as I have a fondness for Wendy O. Williams who was definitely ahead of her time. If she was alive right now, she'd scare the shit out of every young pop singer out there. She was nuts and I loved her for it.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
