Dangerous Years

A whole lot of Hollywood's best known juvenile actors got into this film about juvenile delinquency post World War II. It could have should have been a whole lot better.

High school teacher Donald Curtis starts a boys club in his town. But some of the followers have slipped away courtesy of a new juke joint that is catering to the young. Who;'s leading them away is new arrival Billy Halop who recruits some of them in a heist gang he's organized.

Trying to stop a heist and save his kids Curtis is shot dead and Halop the only legal adult is put on trial.

The trial takes up the bulk of this short film. There are so many extraneous issues and situations brought in he whole thing became ridiculous.

A lot of talent wasted here.
