The story concept is perfect for a movie, but the actual story was so threadbare that if you blinked, you might miss it! There were obviously no legal or law enforcement advisors consulted about the script, so the lack of realism was frightening. Not as frightening as the acting, though! Boring film with a few great lines (as in inadvertently hilarious great).
Most 1950s prison and delinquent movies have some camp value. This one does not. It sure doesn't have any social value. Dullsville daddy-o.
The story really picks up when the new warden decides it's time for the juvenile joint to go co-ed! Decent acting and crowd choreography make this one of director Cahn's most enjoyable efforts. The riot scenes and the dance scenes are very well handled, and Scott Marlowe is effective as the "Rebel with Claws".
