How Much Affection? (1958)
How far can young people go in petting and still stay within the bounds of personal standards and social mores? This one has it all. Teen angst, questioning, guilt, approval. And what inspired dialogue! “Oh, mother… I don’t know what to do. I’m so messed up!” “Mother, is it wrong to feel warm and affecionate?” “When you’re able to slow down and say no, that’s when you truly will become a woman.” “Imagine marrying someone who HAS to marry you…” And plenty of implied pearls of wisdom, such as: Teenage pregnancy means you can’t become a lawyer. Double dating: Reliable birth control? Maybe yes, maybe no… depends on who you are doubling with. Excellent filmography, good lighting… a winner all around. A great offering from our favorite 30 year old teenagers.
