the good old days

This is one of those film titles that would go really well with dramatic music after it… The Last Date [DUM DUM DUM!]

Dick York was only 21 when this was made in 1949, so it’s not unreasonable to see him trying to play a high school jock. It is funny, though. It’s also worth watching to see where the well-known phrase “teenicide” originated. What’s that — you’ve never heard of teenicide? I guess that’s because you’ve never seen this film!

Please enjoy the plentiful innuendo sprinkled throughout…

One of the funniest lines: “Tea doesn’t come from China, silly! It comes from Ceylon… or somewhere…” which goes to show that despite the permanent disfigurement resulting from the accident, Jeanne will still have a fulfilling life since she’s so smart. (Ha! Just kidding! She’s ugly now and the 1950’s will not accept that; she’s destined for a life of being pointed at and ridiculed, perhaps a long-term career as a circus freak.)
