The Delinquents. 1957. USA. Written and directed by Robert Altman. 72 min.

With Tom Laughlin, Peter Miller, Rosemary Howard. Before his feature film career took off with MASH, Altman’s early sponsored films and television work allowed him to develop his craft in a range of traditional genres. Among them is this 1950s teensploitation picture in which a pretty girl’s rebellion against bourgeois parents leads to recklessness and violence.
