John Ashley who was a poor man’s Fabian back in the late Fifties was discovered by John Wayne who steered him into a show business career. One wonders why the Duke didn’t put him into some of his films, all of them around this time better than High School Caesar.<\/p>\n
Fabian certainly was in better films than High School Caesar a cheaply made and photographed film about a spoiled rich kid who has a gang of leather jacketed flunkies who terrorize the kids in the local high school. One reviewer said that there was no real explanation for Ashley’s bad behavior, personally I think it was because he was plain no good. He’s even got the brain dead principal under his thumb and he wins election as student body president with a campaign of intimidation and extortion. His number one flunky Steve Stevens gets elected treasurer and then Ashley really goes to work. Stevens however has a social problem and wants Ashley to fix him up with campus queen Judy Nugent who much prefers drag racing Gary Vinson. Ashley’s failure to dictate Nugent’s social life plus a murder he commits eventually do him in.<\/p>\n
Lots of rock and roll music, acting that is on the level of a high school drama presentation, cheap cinematography all these characterize High School Caesar.<\/p>\n
