vintagegrrl916 Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Can someone please,please help me! There is a movie I saw a long time ago but I cannot for the life of me remember the title. It's a black and white B-movie from either the late 1950's or early 1960's. It's about a group of teenage girls who are friends and how one of them deals with her parents who seem to be middle-upper class people but completely out of touch with their daughter. I remember one scene where the girls and their boyfriends were in the house of the middle-upper class girl and her parents were having a party. Most of the adults are drunk including her mother who is trying to show everyone how young she is by dancing the Charleston. But what she doesn't realize is that the teenagers are laughing at her because that dance was so old. All of a sudden she falls down drunk. Most of the teen girls are from the wrong side of town. I know one of the girls lives with her sister and I think either their parents died or left them. Anyway, I know that what happens is they all run away and the girl with the middle-upper class family has a car. They find work at a dance hall where men pay to dance with them and I guess whatever else they want. I think one of the girls gets pregnant by her boyfriend. I'm sorry if I'm being vague but like I said I saw it sooo long ago. Even though it was campy I just liked it alot! If anyone can please tell me the title and/or what actors were in it I would really appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhnrndglt Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 This movie is titled ironically RUNAWAY DAUGHTERS and was directed by Edward L. Cahn for American International Pictures in 1958 (even though IMDB says 1956). The mother was played by Anna Sten and the father by John Litel. Their daughter was played by Marla English. The other daughters were Mary Ellen Kay (who got pregnant) and Gloria Castillo. This was the last film for Adele Jergens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
