Wednesday, July 12 - The Delinquents

The Delinquents (1957)

Goodhearted teen Scotty (Tom Laughlin) just wants to spend time with his girl, but her disapproving folks break up the young lovers' relationship. Scotty grows despondent but bumps into fellow youngsters Cholly (Peter Miller) and Eddy (Richard Bakalyan), who cheer him up with their mischievous ways. They induct Scotty into their band of hooligans, but the group's harmless rock-'n'-roll-fueled antics quickly give way to violent rumbles at drive-ins, and Scotty winds up in major trouble.

Scotty White (age 19) must stop 'going steady' with Janice Wilson (age 16) when Janice's parents intervene. Frustrated, idle and without Janice's restraining influence, Scotty encounters Cholly and his band of disorganized, fun-loving delinquents. Soon he has Janice (who seems considerably the more mature of the two) mixed up in their doings, which begin to seem less and less like harmless fun.
