The story kept my attention and the emerging theme (at the time) of youth alienation as a product of an increasingly isolated lifestyle was well communicated. But I think maybe what I really enjoyed was seeing the old school acting style and the new school together. Olivia de Havilland represented the elegance of past acting style, while James Caan channeling Marlon Brando represented the new age. And Ann Southern was a hoot.

Ok so it's an old movie.... but hey remember Oldies are Goodies! Well, I hate to disappoint you, but this doesn't fit in that category.
