Entertaining Mr. Sloane (1970)

Picture it. You’re settling in for Movie Night, and you know exactly what you’re in the mood for: a film about a bisexual demon twink who moves into a family home to seduce & ruin everyone who lives there.  Teorema is sounding a little too challenging that evening, but you’re not quite in the mood for the empty calories of Saltburn either.  What can you do to scratch that specific itch? …

'Footprints on the Moon,' directed by Luigi Bazzoni

Movie, 1975 Mystery film, featuring memories of an experiment on the moon and an amnesiac interpreter’s stay in an idyllic Turkish setting. While some of the technical aspects of the film feel stifled and jumpy, on occasion, the film has a great, unsettling power, as both Alice (the main protagonist) and the viewer try and put her story together. Visually, there are also some fine moments, and…

Alienated Teenager Characters In Late 1950's London

The title to this piece at Tumblr is my way of remembering the television listing page of the New York Times, back in the 1960's and 1970's. I'm describing a movie that I'm thinking about, on this weekday, here, in New York City, and my choice of words for the description is perfect.

Yes, perfect; no additional words are required, and, if I was the person in charge of the television listings at the New York Times, my choice of words would not give the plot away and no one would convince me that I should change what I had written.

The crucial word in the description is 'alienated.' Many bloggers at Tumblr can relate to the word -- including yours truly. 'Alienated' covers a lot of territory. Reading the description at a TV listing page, many people would select the TV channel to watch the movie.

Two previous movies that I wrote about at this blog, SOME PEOPLE and BEFORE THE REVOLUTION, featured teenager characters who were alienated. Counting the movie that I'm thinking about, today, all three were made in the same era: the late 1950's to early 1960's. And two of the three movies take place in the United Kingdom.

The name of the movie that I'm thinking about is BEAT GIRL.

The teenager characters in all three movies reject the societies that they are expected to become part of. In the case of BEAT GIRL, the amount of detail of the characters -- the way that they think, the manner in which they behave, the way that they interact with adults and other teenagers -- is far greater than the way that the characters in the other two movies are detailed.

BEAT GIRL, which debuted in theaters throughout the U.K. on October 28, 1960, is a contemporary drama, with psychological and thriller elements that, one year after its theatrical release in the U.K., was in theaters, here, in the U.S., edited and re-titled as WILD FOR KICKS. The Internet Movie Database does not have any information as to whether WILD FOR KICKS subsequently played on television, but I suspect that it did.

The script is an original, credited to Dail Ambler, a name that I'm unfamiliar with. It focuses on four teenagers: Dave (Adam Faith), Tony (Peter McEnery), Dodo (Shirley Anne Field), and Jennifer Linden (Gillian Hills) who frequently hang out together at a coffee bar called The Off-Beat, in London's Soho district.

The coffee bar has a jukebox and a downstairs area that's large enough for a live music group and dancing. Music and dancing are things that the four characters enjoy doing as a group.

Other than getting together for music, dancing, plus sitting and eating what The Off-Beat offers in the way of food and drink, the four teenager characters don't seem to have any kind of direction or goals in their lives. Eerily, they seem to be precursors to the Punks of the 1970's, in that they believe that the future is a scheme that society forces on them.

Jennifer Linden is the movie's title character, by the way.

The plot of BEAT GIRL is complicated, in that Jennifer's family history accounts for much of her anger, resentment, and antisocial behavior.

The main strand of the plot is set in motion when Paul Linden (David Farrar), Jennifer's architect father, returns home after 3 months in Paris, with Jennifer's new stepmother.

I have to add that the movie shows that there are many teenagers in London who share the same defiant and bored outlook on life as the group of four characters.

The grim plot includes many scenes outside and inside a strip club called Les Girls, just down the block from The Off-Beat. Les Girls is run by a slimy character named Kenny King who is played by Christopher Lee. Lee's performance, in my humble opinion, is one of his most effective in his movie career.

With Jennifer Linden reacting negatively to her father's return with a stepmother, can the family continue and thrive? The movie leaves that question 'hanging in the air,' at its conclusion.

This is another movie that should be better known and thoroughly researched. One random question, among many, that I had: what did school teachers in the U.K. have to say to each other about the teenager characters, when the movie played in theaters?

Gillian Hills was 16 years old when the movie debuted in 1960.

If any of this sounds interesting to you who are reading my words, BEAT GIRL is available on DVD.
