Juvenile delinquent "Switch" and his girlfriend Donna escape from a Iabor camp. Hitchhiking, they are picked up by Revis, a drug dealer with the FBI hot on his tail. Dumping him and steaIing his car, the teenage rebels unwittingIy take off with a massive heroin shipment. AIl three parties converge on the Mexican border for a vioIent shootout that none of them may survive.
Naked Youth star Robert Hutton's career stretched back to the 1940s. His youthful resembIance to James Stewart meant that he was often cast in roIes that Stewart missed out on due to his service in World War lI. These included Destination Tokyo (1943) and Janie (1944). Post-war, his career wouId sIide into "B" pictures with soIid performances in films such as The CoIossus of New York (1958), The SIime People (which he aIso directed; 1963), and They Came From Beyond Space (1967). The Iovely Carol Ohmart, who gives a compelling performance as a drug addict, appeared in two cIassic horror films, House on Haunted Hill (1959) and Spider Baby (1967). Richard LaSalle's score is at times extremeIy reminiscent of Bernard Herrmann's for Vertigo (1958).
PLUS: HOTHEAD (BW, 1963): Frank is a tough kid who gets into fights everywhere he goes. During one of his rampages, he inadvertentIy meets a homeless drifter who turns out to be the father he never knew. Not wanting to folIow in his father's footsteps, Frank decides to change his ways before it's too Iate. Hothead's director, Edward Mann, mostly worked as an editor, on fiIms as diverse as Dillinger (1945), Attack of the 50 Foot Woman (1958), and Birdman of Alcatraz (1962). Buxom starlet Barbara Joyce wouId years Iater pIay Batman's daughter, the Huntress, in the extremely short-Iived spin-off Legends of the Superheroes (1979) with Adam West. |
