"Life Begins at Seventeen" dvr'd off of GetTV.
Overall, it felt like the 1958 equivalent of an after-school special in that it was a basic morality tale of teenage dating / only caring what your friends think / being insensitive to the less popular and less pretty girls, etc. However, the female lead, Luana Anders, played it with such a quietly passionate blend of maturity, immaturity, sensitivity and angst that she elevated the entire picture a bit above itself.
Away from that, the clothes in it are a trip through the heyday of Ivy dressing.
