Viewing Notes

Sort of a western version of The Wild One, with four young toughs taking over a small town made up of mostly older citizens.  A pretty good little film.  I have to imagine the story is born out of the fear surrounding juvenile delinquency during the 50’s. A young John Saxon plays a Mexican with a thick accent.
