Hard to believe that this tale of beat
girls, beat boys and sundry strippers was once considered scandalous and
had an 'X' certificate slapped on it when it first appeared. It's
another warning on what can happen when you let your teenage daughter
listen to jazz or worse still, jive music! Of course, it's mostly
terrible but it has built up something of a reputation as a cult movie
in recent years. (The club scenes and a chicken run stolen from "Rebel
Without a Cause" are surprisingly good).David Farrar is the rich architect who remarries; his new wife is Noelle Adam and she has a shady past and newcomer Gillian Hills is his pouty teenage daughter who resents her. The cast also includes Christopher Lee, Adam Faith, (not at all bad), Peter McEnery and a young Oliver Reed, (billed here as Plaid Shirt). The director was Edmond T Greville who brought a middle-aged man's disapproving eye to bear on the proceedings.
