A bad attitude is like a flat tire. You can't go anywhere, without changing it. This movie is just a flat tire without a spare. I'm sorry, if anybody honestly like this old school classic about teenage disillusionment and social estrangement, but I kinda found it, somewhat annoying. I get that girls just wanna have fun, but all the troubled reckless youth in this film, were just not unlikeable at all. Way too much backtalk and sass with little caring. This movie is no Rebel without a Cause, because of that. Directed by Charles Haas, this movie tells the story of a juvenile delinquent, Silver Morgan (Mamie Van Doren) who is sent to a girl's school run by nuns, after being mistaken for a woman that was with her ex-boyfriend, Chip Gardner (Harold Lloyd Jr) at the time of his death. Unable to prove, her innocent, Silver must learn, how to live at the rehabilitation center, while, also trying to solve her ex boyfriend's murder. Without spoiling the movie, too much, this movie is probably best known as the film that the 1990s movie-mocking television series, 'Mystery Science Theater 3000' lampooned in Season 6, Episode 1, September 1994, airing on Comedy Central. Nevertheless, what people don't know, about that airing is that, about 15 minutes of the actual film was cut from this version. It get worst, as some versions of the film, imposed the removal of several scene in which Silver is bathing, because it was considered to be offensive to decency at the time. So, if you really want to see the full version, you might have to find the VHS tape, since as of this writing, this film hasn't yet, come into DVD. It's a really hard and rare movie to find a full version of this film. Despite the movie being impossible to find, the movie isn't as bad, as Mystery Science Theater 3000 make it out to be. It's not the worst to ever air on MST3K. However, it's does have a lot of moments, throughout the film, that will anger you. I think, one of them, for me, was the fact that the girls in the film, hardly learn any lessons. There is no character development. I get that, the movie is trying to be a straight-up morality tale about religion and friendship turning around the life of an angst juvenile delinquent, but the problem with that, is the innocent event that got Silver sent to Girls Town, overlook Silver's own crimes. Yes, it's true, that she found religion for a punishment, she didn't do, but it doesn't really show, much or any change in her persona about her own past crimes. Another problem with the film is how most of the cast are much older than the teenagers they're supposed to be playing. Annoying Marilyn Monroe rip-off, Mamie Van Doren was actually 28 at the time, a good 11 years older than her character. While, she was a fine-actor. The over-used of slang, really made her character, hard to understand. A good example of this, was with the word, 'henchman'. Silver probably mean henchman, in a way, like buddy, friend or pal, but it comes across, as lame attempt to give new meaning to that word. Other dialogues sentences, really become, very funny to the modern viewers, as meaning for certain words, now have sexual undertones with them. A good example of this, is when Silver told the villain in the film is 'that she will blow his whistle'. I can't help laughing. Despite that, Mamie Van Doren was somewhat sexy at certain moments in the film. I just wish, she stop, looking like a Marilyn Monroe clone. She's really ruin her looks, in her later years. One another character that really seem out of place is Jazz composer turn actor, Mel Tormé. He was 34 when he was declare to played, street racer/gang member Fred Alger. It was really jarring to see, a man known for playing smooth jazz, try to act, like a youthful bad-ass, when he clearly not. I really didn't like his character. Other characters that seem, like they don't belong in this film is, singer, Jimmy Parlow (Paul Anka) whom oddly seem to love, to hang out at Girl's Town for no reason, but to torment his stalker, Serafina Garcia (Gigi Perreau), by giving her mixed messages. Why would you want to be friends with your stalker? That would, only give them, more reasons to seek you out, Jimmy! Despite that, Paul Anka does alright in his first starting role. He remind me, so much of a young Dustin Hoffman, in this film, but as much as I love his singing of songs, "Lonely Boy", "It's Time to Cry", "Girls Town Blues", and "Ave Maria". The whole stalking sub-plot really felt like a different type of a movie, going on, at the same time, as the main plot. Another plot-line, that isn't followed up, on enough was the whole idea of the Joe Cates (Charlie Chaplin Jr.) trying to incriminate Silver in Chip's murder. It's come and goes, without any backstory on why. It's weird to see, the children of famous good-natured comedians, Harold Lloyd Jr and Charlie Chaplin Jr. being told to play bad guys. It's so jolting to watch. Even the whole idea of attempted rape in a late 1950s/early 1960s movie, was a little bit, too disturbing. Despite that, the action in the film is alright. The Game of Chicken with the cars was surprised, not that bad. It had some intense moments. Overall: This teen exploitation film from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer is a dated time capsule of a film that doesn't age well, since the 1950s, however, it's unique and entertaining the whole way through. Worth maybe one watch, but not much, other than that. If anything, just watch the MST3K version, instead.
