Dragstrip Girl

Try this instead: Johnny is a bad guy trying to go straight. He's smitten with Laura, a wealthy good girl rebelling against her parents by pretending to go steady with Johnny... all set among the backdrop of 1950's Los Angeles.

i.e. neither "who" nor "whom" is needed at all.

When they are, use "who" when referring to the subject, and "whom" about the object... if you don't know which is which, ask yourself a question about the person using the verb. If the answer is "he," "she" or "they" it's a subject; use "who." If the answer is "him," "her" or "them" it's an object; use "whom."

("he" is trying to go straight, so it would be "who" if it was needed at all; "he" is smitten with Laura, so it would be "who" if it was needed at all; finally, "she" is rebelling... again, "who.")

High school English, kids... pay attention. :)

The film itself is none-too-memorable, even for a TV movie. :-|

This is one of the better entries in the Showtime Rebel Highway series of AIP remakes. Its storyline doesn't rise above the usual simplistic TV movie of the week cliches, but it is intelligently acted by Mark Dacascos and Natasha Gregson Wagner. An excellent soundtrack, partly recorded by Los Lobos, adds character and grit.
