BLUE DENIM (BLU-RAY)

“Recounts, often movingly and intelligently, the torments of a pair of high school lovers who are about to become unwed parents...Carol Lynley repeats her stage role with the same eclat and sensitivity. As her young lover, Brandon de Wilde gives a moving performance.”
- Variety

“Quite good, thanks to fine performances by Carol Lynley and Brandon de Wilde, who convince as cherubic high schoolers ‘too young to know the score.’”
- Glenn Erickson, Trailers from Hell.com

Writer-director Philip Dunne, collaborating with Edith Sommer on an adaptation of James Leo Herlihy and William Noble’s play, brings us Blue Denim (1959), an echt-Fifties “issue movie” about a pair of teenagers (Carol Lynley, Brandon de Wilde) who find themselves facing the horror of an unwed, unwanted pregnancy. These are “good kids,” for whom things go wrong, to the dismay of parents, friends, educators, all of whom, somehow, have failed to educate these children: babies having babies, indeed. Highlighted by a score from the singular Bernard Herrmann.
