What I love about these teen movies from the 1950s:
It doesn't matter how much of a cad you are ... or how much of a criminal you are .. or how poor you are ... or that you're out stealing a car ... or that you are armed with a knife on a murderous mission of vengeance ... or that you're still in high school. ... None of that has to stop you from dressing smartly in a neat sport coat and tie.
This movie is not fine cinema, but it's a fun watch, and does tug at the heart strings.
My one suggestion for the folks who run the reform school: Give the male teacher an office with an interior window.
This film makes be want to travel back in time and see if people in the '50s really dressed that nicely and spent that much of their household income on suit jackets. Or maybe I'll watch this again with my mom and dad and ask them.
