OUTSIDERS REBEL TEEN MOVIE LINKS

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
