Director Frankenheimer and Burt Lancaster did THE YOUNG SAVAGES and THE TRAIN in 1961. They worked well together, though THE TRAIN was a more expensive production, had better actors, and is more easily remembered.
That said, THE YOUNG SAVAGES examines the early but already growing problem of juvenile delinquency in Manhattan, and does it with honesty. Sadly, that problem has not diminished with the ever growing melting pot.
Highly effective performance from Lancaster. John Chandler as the remorseless baddie, maintains the idiotically evil facial expression throughout, which I found distracting and annoying.
Curious to see a young, already balding Telly Savalas, assisting Lancaster.
Competent cinematography.
