But it was made in 1938 when audiences were a whole less naive and better educated.
"Altitude 3,200 (aka Youth in Revolt)" asks the question and provides the premise of what would happen if a group of young people----poor, rich, discontented, bored--- were given an idyllic community in which to live.
Call it a colony. Call it a village. Call it one-world. Mainly call it a futile exercise in changing human nature, mores, culture and attitudes at any altitude. For t'ain't no time before clashing personalities, petty jealousy, violence and---that old demon---love create havoc. And isn't much longer before they become re-united in the face of an avalanche that threatens to destroy them. They all return to whence they came, sadder and wiser.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't force him to drink.
First US showing at NYC's Fifth Avenue Theatre, in May, 1939, with French dialogue and English titles.
