Essentially it’s a classic exploitation film from the 50’s. Good girl hanging with the wrong crowd in order to fit in, toss in a little romance, and some inevitable violence. Overall, a classic film for those in love with the 50s. amazing fashion, and perfectly representing the era. Also quite in line with traditional film noir acting. if you can’t take film noir, you WILL hate every minute of this movie. If you can however appreciate the style, you’ll love every second of it. Great as a comparison to our modern culture. highly recommended. Extremely quotable. It’s also a short film, so it doesn’t drag on or move too slowly, which is nice. If you’re into rockabilly or 50’s subculture, it’s a must see,
