When watching this movie I was overcome with equal urges to both laugh and squirm. Unfortunately, they happened at the same time, which eliminated any emotional punch this movie may have once had. The main issue that this movie tackles is both universal and timeless, but the problems encountered by the three teenage leads are dated and quite foreign to today's youth. This picture could have very likely been compelling and controversial when it first came out in 1959, but today it stands as a cautionary guide for film makers not to make their pictures subject to the time. Overall, a light way to look at an era not too far gone.
