Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
Elia Kazan's pedal-to-the-metal approach to psychosexual melodrama paid off handsomely when he had layered material by Tennessee Williams or John Steinbeck to work with. The very raw material here is an original by hot-blooded playwright William Inge, about a pair of teenagers in the American Midwest in the 1920s whose lives are ruined by the repressive sexual climate of the period. The girl, played by Natalie Wood, is literally driven batty by her pent-up adolescent lust and ends up in the bin---which admittedly plays better than sounds, because the hunk she yearns for is the young and almost impossibly handsome Warren Beatty. This is a very lush and beautiful movie, but also a deeply silly one. It's grade-A American cheese, with a pinch of dime-store Freud on top.--David Chute

Rating:  - ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES
Thankfully, I did not grow up in this era, and everything I have read and heard about it is obviously not entertaining. It is, therefore, even more amazing to me how entertaining this movie is for me. First of all, the chemistry between the beautiful Natalie Wood and the handsome Warren Beatty is off the charts.

Rating: - universal theme of brokenhearted lovers still pertinent today
When I watched this movie when I was a teenager in the 1970's, the theme of lovers being broken apart by parents, or time, or circumstances evoked such painful emotions that I still cannot rewatch the movie to this day-and I am 53.It is a breathtakingly poignant movie,whose theme remains relevant today. This is an absolute love story classic, with a brilliant performance by Natalie Wood, that must not be missed by anyone who loves this genre. One of the moral messages taken from the movie-famous lines from ... Read More
Rating: - 5 star performance!
I have always loved this movie! Natalie Wood's performance is brilliant, as she really stepped into this role with her whole heart! She makes one feel every pain she feels, and shed the tears she shed. Warren Beatty also does a superb job for his first time!
You will NOT be dissappointed!!
