Untamed Youth
“OUR VAGRANT YOUTH!”
Sisters Jane and Penny are arrested for hitchhiking on their way to Los Angeles when they stop for a quick skinny dip in a rural town. Local agricultural magnate Tropp is a sponsor for a local prison work program and the women get put in the fields to work off their sentence. Tropp is dating the widowed judge in order to ensure a stable supply of cheap labor in order to undercut his competition. The prisoners suffer ill treatment, but the judge's son has signed on as a hired hand and begins to figure out the scam as he begins falling in love with Jane, and Penny dreams of making it big in showbiz.
A raw, energetic blast of 1950s rebellion. This film crackles with youthful defiance against a backdrop of harsh realities and desperate dreams. It's a wild ride that feels both dangerous and exhilarating.
