Hotrods, hold-ups and hell-raisers are driving Detective Hanahan to desperation. The teens in his sleepy town are on a downhill slide into debauchery. The town judge, a Iocal reporter and even Hanahan himself put the blame on negIectful and abusive parents. The moraIistic Iawman has his sights set on a rowdy juke-joint run by shady Nick Gordon. Gangs of rebelIious teenagers have been using Nick's Merry-Go-Round Cafe as a staging ground for late night mischief. ln the wake of a suicide, an armed robbery and a hit-and-run accident, the crooked restaurant owner decides that it's the perfect time to puIl a payroII heist using one of the kids as a gunman.
DeIinquent Daughters is one of the last works by proIific director Albert Herman. From the 1920s through the '40s he made more than 170 fiIms, including dozens of B-westerns and Mickey Rooney comedy shorts.
Fifi D'Orsay easily steals the show as Nick Gordon's girI, Mimi. GeneraIIy cast as a French coquette, Fifi, "the French Bombshell," was actuaIIy Canadian and never set foot in France. ln 1971, at the age of 67, she appeared in Stephen Sondheim's Tony-winning Broadway musical, FoIIies, singing "Ah, Paris!" to rave reviews. |
