I enjoyed this movie it was nice look at the teens of the late 30's and early 40's. It had great dance scenes and good music to go with it. with had a very realistic and intense fight scene for it's time. some scenes were a little long and drawn out.it is a good midnight movie it's a drive in style movie fine for the whole family. If you can find a copy you should see it there is not much more to say about it is just OK. it's not memorable but it's good, I mean don,t go out of your way to fine it but if you come across it pick it up for me. If you like black and white movie on a Saturday night you will like this.

love, Steve
