Teen-Age Crime Wave (1955)


Directed by Fred F. Sears
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Preachy JD melodrama about the dangers of hanging out with the wrong friends. Sweet and innocent Jane goes on a blind date, only to end up on the lam with a couple of teenage killers. They hide out in a farm house and take an older couple hostage. Way too much time is spent listening to the old man read the Bible, the teens bickering with one another, nicotine withdrawal and general boredom waiting for something to happen. The final scene tries to steal a little something from Hitchcock with a fight in a revolving observatory dome, but fails miserably.
