sex kittens go to college (1960)


"I'm so far out already, I'm on another planet."
The new science department head for Collins College arrives and immediately causes consternation as its a well stacked blond! Whilst Dr Mathilda West (Mamie Van Doren) causes much distraction, two thugs search for Sam Thinko a super-brained robot, whom they want to use to predict horse races.
This has a love/hate reaction on people. Maybe its the good looking dames, Mamie, Tuesday Weld and Bridget's younger sister Mijanou, added to a script that satiries the teen comedy stereotypes, but I'm in the camp classic group. Not the best of anything, but it entertains me at least.

high school confidential (1958)

aka Trouble at Sixteen. Young Hellions.
A new kid in school Tony Baker (Russ Tamblyn), immediately starts to make an impression by muscling his way into the drug suppliers, the wheelers and dealers, run by J.I. Colridge (John Drew Barrymoore). The teachers try to reform him, and the kids dig his scene, but he seems to be above them all, following his own agenda, but what is it he's really after?

A typical 50's drugsploitation posing as a morality play, but this one is chock full of hip beat talking hep cats, hot broads, and the usual
naive view of drugs. A real time capsule of the late 50's nihilistic American teen/beat world view. Worth watching just to hear some of the most fantastic one liners as Tony puts down all around him. Worth watching a few times just to catch it all.
