This movie must have been some kind of breakthrough in theme and stereotypes back in the 50s, with a rebellious kid, a wimpy dad, a pill mom, a nerdy kid, etc. I can't help but feel it's like a movie from the 80s, and after forcing myself watching an hour, I pretty much fast-forwarded through the remaining 40 minutes. Sorry Nick Ray, and Jimmy Dean, but this movie is quite dated.
