As "Blackboard Jungle" showed it in 1955 in United States, rock'n'roll was a disaster for young teens who frantically could commit the worst crimes. And "Violent Playground" shows the insane crimes of the young Johnny Murphy (played by David McCallum) until his last demented action in a Liverpool school, terrorizing the whole school. All this tragic part is impressively directed by Basil Dearden with a tough editing and remains unforgettable. In front of this youth rage, Stanley Baker and Peter Cushing play very soberly. Unique.
