The Outsiders didn’t just come from out of nowhere.
The movies and books had been screaming about the
rebellious, terrible, dangerous youth since after WWII!
From the Wild Ones to Rumble on the Docks to Rebel Without
a Cause, SE Hinton’s imagination was prodded
by ten years of these “bad” teens movies and beach fun stories.
WHAT WOULD S.E. HINTON HAVE BEEN AWARE OF AS SHE WROTE THE OUTSIDERS?
RUMBLE ON THE DOCKS
(1956) TRAILER 1:32 minutes
Hilarious to watch the captions roll out in dramatic form!
BUT it would be this crazy view of kids as delinquents that she would respond to
JERRY LEWIS – THE
DELICATE DELINQUENT (1957) – 2:28 minutes
Hilarious spoof of
the tough guy line up.
Starts off just like Dally would face.
Then it gets to Jerry Lewis.
Spoofs the teenage rebel rage.
THEN show the trailer for the Delicate Delinquent
