Untamed Youth (1957)
3/10
Go, Go, Calypso!
20 March 2024
Cotton work farm in Texas for co-ed criminals is run by shady boss who has married the much-older female judge in town just to get the law on his side; the judge's son gets a job on the farm driving the harvester and smells a rat (or maybe it's just the dog food the rock-loving juvies are made to eat). Fruity teen opus from director Howard W. Koch and a slumming Warner Bros. Is poorly-written, acted and presented, with a Mamie Van Doren calypso number tacked on at the end that goes on forever. Drive-in dreck was originally condemned by the Catholic Legion of Decency! Mamie-addicts will up the rating a notch or two. *1/2 from ****
