Director: Daniel Petrie
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
An attempt to come to grips with repressed adolescent sexuality in backwoods Georgia by way of the touching relationship that develops between the high school's clean-cut good-looker and the dumb ugly duckling who gets used for the boys' gang bangs. The handling of the aggression that inevitably disrupts the idyllic affair is adequate, but the film falls down over its attempts to give credibility to the central relationship. Meticulous period (1948) detail.Author: CPe
