    • Quotes

      Grace Hewitt: Excited?

      Nancy Fallon: Wild!

      Grace Hewitt: Try not to show it too much, kids like you to be casual.

      Nancy Fallon: Grace, I'll welcome any tip you can give me on how to behave with a teenage daughter.

      Grace Hewitt: Well, all I know is anything you do is wrong. If you try to spruce yourself up it's, "Oh Mother, that's too kiddish for you," and if you don't it's, "Mother, do you have to dress like an old bag?"

      Nancy Fallon: Oh, you make it sound awful.

      Grace Hewitt: They love you. They bully you, but they love you, the little monsters. And if anything goes wrong, they turn back to being 6 or 7 years old and cling to you, and that's heaven.

    A rare combination of 50s teenage fun and serious drama

    This film is a cut above most 50s teenage movies which deal with music and fun times like "Rock, Rock, Rock" and others. Then there are the ones dealing with a serious plot with little teenage fun times shown. Unlike these, "Teenage Rebel" has the best of both in one film. The kids have loads of fun here. They clown at the malt shop, go to a drag race and enjoy a real fun party with plenty of music and dancing. Yet, at the same time, a serious drama is going on where a resentful girl learns a valuable lesson about the value of her mothers unconditional love for her. This is very intense drama combined with the fun.
