"A&P" by John Updike is an accurate and insightful depiction of social norms at the time, as well as the rebellious spirit of a young adult refusing to conform to those norms. The main character works at the titular grocery chain A&P, but makes a large decision later in the story because of 3 young girls wearing bathing suits and his manager's reaction to those girls.
Bruce Schwartz' 1996 adaptation of this classic short story is well done as well. It is Sean Hayes' debut video production, and contains a cast of names well-known to this day. The plot differences and small inconsistencies do not pose a problem in terms of the quality of the production.
However, I absolutely despised the "look at those toes" comment in the adaptation. I hated it. It single-handedly brings this movie down from an 8-star production to a 1-star one. Do not watch this video.
