This was filmed in my hometown in N. Central Missouri, where I still reside! The big house still is there just a few blocks from my house, which was my paternal grandparent's house they built in 1955. It stands just outside one of the entrances to Simpson park which has a dramatic role in the movie. It's a pretty park with practically a forest of enormous old oak trees. Our town has grown to about 10,000 people from the approx 1,000 then. The scenes set outside of town in the country were filmed (in beautiful late spring) north of town a few miles between here & a town called Jamesport, which has a large population of Amish & Mennonite people. If u were able to locate the exact area where those scenes were shot, you'd find it looks almost exactly now as back then.The teenage hangout was just outside the city limits & was open til the late 60's-early 70's. I was born in '65 & I don't ever remember it being where my Granny said it had been, so it went out of business when I was very young. I don't know why they didn't show more of the town. It's always been a quaint, clean little town. As for the high school, it was built somewhere around 1930 (give or take a couple years). Granny graduated there in 1938. My father was going to that high school when this filmed. He graduated in 1960. Then around 2000 they built a new high school & used the old one for the junior high (or middle school, as its mostly called now). My oldest daughter attended 7th & 8th grade there but the 3rd floor at that time was unusable. Then, it was finally completely torn about 2009-10. I hated to see it go because it still looked much like it did in this movie & not terribly different when Granny attended (so she said) just a little shabbier. I am fond of old, vintage things & buildings in relatively original condition or so, between that & the fact that there was so much family "history" associated with it, I was terribly sad to see it go. Such emptiness there now. Imo, sometimes progress sucks. I've been an avid fan of old movies from the time I was about 10. I get a kick out of these old B flicks. I hope y'all found it to your liking, as well. 😀🎥

What would we classic movie lovers do without you, PizzaFlix? Thanks for another goody!

Great flick. That's exactly how it was when I was in school at that time. Same old styles and fears of being a kid. Thanks.

The “High School” Caesar, John Ashley, was actually 26 when he made this teen movie. Thanks for these old movies 👍👍👍!!!

One of my all-time favorite movies!💕

I've been a fan of movies of this style my entire life, and I'm not a youngin', but I'd never seen this one before Thanks for introducing me to a very cool flick!

A Excellent Movie.. Highly Recommended . Thank You Very Much For Sharing..

One of the best JD movies.

I love movies like this.

John Ashley as the bad boy, Frankie and Annette would be so surprised. They would have tried to ban him from the beach, or at least make him join the Eric Von Zipper gang.

Love this! Excellent.

You gotta dig the whole production

The bullies in the leather jackets would have been in the jungle a couple of years later, getting their toughness tested by a North Vietnamese regiment.

This is the best thing I ever saw.

This movie came out when I was 4 yrs. Old. When I was in high school we had the hippy generation. This looks so tame compared to our high school days. Especially the music.

Do the kids ever dance to any other song except the one that keeps playing over and over in the soda bar?

props to the bongo player

Hated this flick....too much of a reminder of how painful the bullying was back in the day for me. Great film though...can't take that element away. So many memories of the 60s....

Seems like they put new music in this version

Crime does NOT pay. No matter what.

Real groovy music, man.....

Hmm, it's a great Pleasure to watch this type of story but one thing worried me, are they Students or Bunch Of Hooligans 😢❤

An awesome movie!

hey thank you for B-movie I love it.

NOT BAD FOR AS OLD AS THIS MOVIE IS.

The Class of 1952. A bottle of Coke Cola: 25 cents. Minimum pay wage: 75 cents/hour. Matt Steven's gold coin: $100.00.. or as he says "Probably more!"

if you think about it, it feels like a modern criticism of capitalism, showing the main villian, Matt, as a spoiled boy who would rig everything to his pleasing like most corperations and the other guys trying to fight back. Like the lower class’ uproar against the upper class

This movie came out when I was in H.S., cool man cool!

Sort of like the character, "Plato", in "Rebel Without a Cause". Poor rich kid always in trouble, cause his parents were always traveling, and leaving him alone, with the maid, even on this birthday. They sent him a check, but he wants them to be there with him. Why he's so bad.

What an ending, man. Kids definitely did not practice the love your enemies principle Jesus taught

Great Movie 👍

Good High School movie. Recommended

teenage politician and pampered punk

Bongos were big back then!

Females dressed better in 1960 compared to 2022.

A great juvenile remake of "Little Caesar" with the great Edward G Robinson.

Gary Vinson one of the crew from McHale's Navy.

Neat music and really cool cars! Hey wait... isn't that guy's hand a bit "low" on that girl @ 29:26? Thanks for another great movie!!

Great Flick!!

watching this film earlier.

Great movie

love the b music

Maybe they should've given him a girlfriend, called her the High School Cleopatra, and had her do to the girls what he did to the boys

At 42:11 the 51 ford becomes a 49-50 Ford to crash

Wonderful

High School Caesar ( 6:59 )

me and my boys...

The student election at the beginning reminds me of the Biden presidency election. All fair and square, of course.

oh my god he killed the guy

The 1960's and us bad boys. We would ditch class and sneak into the local movie theater without paying.

The cruelty of children becomes diseased by the adult mind.

CRICKET 🥴

Excellent movie thay just don't make theam like that enymore

Judy Nugent is my grandmas cousin

Ahh, the fabulous John Trashley. He sure enough made some crap. "The Eye Creatures" was another one of 'is tighty whitey skidmarks. I wonder what ever happened to 'im.
