Dragstrip Girl

The late fifties was definitely the period of juvenile delinquency fashion, that Nicholas Ray was the launcher of with REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE. After this movie, this kind of film was nearly everywhere, but especially in the B movies, not major, big budgets ones. The films destined to teen audiences were mostly shown in drive in, saturday matinees and evening shows. This one makes no exception, I can't imagine adults watching this movie when it was released. Even director John Brahm made such a film with HOT RODS TO HELL, his last movie. He who gave us THE LODGER and THE LOCKET...Here, Edward L Cahn seemd to be very comfortable for such a feature. But Edwward L Cahn was not John Brahm.
