This is a really poor film. It features two alleged teenagers, reference is made to going to school, and they're way way past their sell-by date to be teens. Jimmy Lydon, who was really good in the Henry Aldrich movies, was playing a teenager NINE YEARS earlier than this movie was made, and even then he was almost past his teens. Gil Stratton as his sidekick 'Swifty' is even older. Neither of them really could pass for a teenager or high school student. In fact it's kinda laughable. Lydon plays it low key; he's pretty skinny and still does have a bit of baby-face to him but Stratton is absolutely not believable in his role.
There are so many old hot rod movies out there and this is one which disappointed me. How about getting character roles played by people who are believable in them?
