Trouble in Ozzie & Harriet-land: moody suburban teen begins an awkward sweetheart-relationship with the pretty blonde bobbysoxer down the street. After a couple of tender embraces, we learn she is three months pregnant. An issue movie, and an unfortunately timeless one, but the film is extremely flawed: Brandon de Wilde looks too young and too puny in stature for Carol Lynley (probably a teenager, but looking a lot older with her large face and small features). The two don't match up, with de Wilde coming off more like Lynley's younger brother. It is based on a play and the writing hasn't been reworked for the screen (the dialogue sounds stilted, not flowing in a realistic manner). The director sets up his shots as if he were filming a play, and he has the actors occasionally shouting their lines. The adults are portrayed fairly (a nice change for a teen-oriented movie) and the intentions are heartfelt, but do you believe that happy ending? And IS it a happy ending? A pessimist might point out that, had there been a "Blue Denim II", these characters' lives might not continue in such a spotless fashion. In fact, the results might've been quite bleak. ** from ****
