I first saw this movie at a drive in theater when I was in college back in the late 1970's.
I liked it but didn't think much about it for a long time. Recently I caught it again and realized what a thoroughly good movie it was.
Never mind the setting or time period. If you ever felt any teen-age angst, or if you ever felt a part of anything bigger than you, this is a movie that you can relate to.
The soundtrack is good if you like early 1960's music. But to me this was incidental.
Powerful performances propel this movie, although the ending is a bit strange. All of the acting is A-1 in my book.
