- Summary
- "Teen Movies: American Youth on Screen is a detailed look at the depiction of teens on film, of the influence they have had in and on cinema and the different impact they have had throughout film's history. Timothy Shary looks at the development of the teen movie from the earliest days of cinema - the rebellion, the romance, the sex and the horror - up to the modern-day portrayal of ever-changing youth. Films studied include Rebel Without a Cause (1955), Splendor in the Grass (1961), Carrie (1976), The Breakfast Club (1985), I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) and American Pie (1999)."--BOOK JACKET.
