Review of Splendor in the Grass (1961) by Walker W — 24 Nov 2008
Maybe the only accurate depiction of teenage love I've seen. Beatty is commanding in a performance that beats anything James Dean did. Gotta love that left field sadist scene. I question why it needed to be set in the 20s though, and yes, the melodrama goes too far too often.
