The film was indeed rather well-made (Nicholas Ray, right?), but my tolerability level for anything to do with the topic of “teen angst” was always low to begin with, and has grown far moreso with each passing year. Especially since America itself has become such a faggoty, self-absorbed embarrassment of a country.
Well said.
The initial RWAC was a completely different film with Marlon Brando playing the teen. The screen test that Brando did for it in 1947 is his first ever appearance on film. It’s fascinating.
