Trivia
Debut of actress Dorothy Provine.

Goofs
When Jill used the fire extinguisher in the burglar alarm she used a CO2 fire extinguisher; not a foam fire extinguisher. CO2 is a poor conductor of electricity but it would dissipate rapidly (a few seconds) and the alarm would then sound.

Quotes
Judge: This court places you on probation until you reach the age of twenty one, on condition however that you place yourselves in custody and under the control of the State Youth Authority.

Connections
Featured in Le labyrinthe des passions (1982)

This film has a problem typical of its genre. The actresses who play teens are MUCH too old for their parts. One was 27 and the other 29. They don't look especially young for their ages so the "juvenile delinquent" aspect is quite flawed.

However, the film has an adequate script and a certain amount of emotional power. The embittered Dad is believably depicted as is the dissatisfaction of the daughters.

The grown up criminals are appropriately sophisticated in their immorality. Since I am a Peggy Maley fan, I want to give her oh-so-immoral depiction of gang leader Sue a special plug.

Not a great film but not a bad way to spend some time.
