Blue Denim (1959)
Movie Info
The hot topics of abortion and a hopeless generation gap between parents and teens fuel this interesting, though dated drama by director Philip Dunne. Janet (Carol Lynley, reprising her stage role) is only fifteen and has become pregnant by her sixteen-year-old boyfriend (Brandon de Wilde). The two teens are desperate to find a way out of their dilemma. Janet's father is a university professor and sees her as the ideal image of her dead mother. Arthur's father is a retired Army officer caught up in his military values, while his mother is busy working on Arthur's sister's wedding. In short, there is no adult the teens can rely on for sympathy or support. Their solution is to seek out an abortion without telling their parents, and as the sinister-looking woman arrives in a black limousine to take Janet away to the unscrupulous, unethical doctor who performs abortions, it is clear that this movie is playing to a certain audience at a certain place and time.
