action
How to deal with rebellious youth has become a popular question-and-answer game in America. Dr. Kingsley, a well-known psychiatrist at the university, will have an answer to that very quickly. Just smiling wisely in the face of the unhappy hustle and bustle of the police and students lecturing about the rearing of his own brood, something dies on his lips: he learns that the flame of rioting is licking in his own hut - the two teenage daughters are sending each other to to thoroughly ditch the waters of parental authority with the results of an emphatically liberal upbringing. When a bearded young man drives his motorcycle through the flowerbed, the daughter's adventurous circle of friends rages in the house, who later secretly marries as a minor, the tormented father is driven both to increased whiskey consumption and to the realization that his sanctions - the ground Theoretically brilliant scientific approach has outgrown it - in practice it is ineffective.
After a breakneck chase of his older daughter, Dr. Kingsley is stopped by an obstacle, catapulted from the saddle of a motorcycle, and ends up at the feet of the appeal committee that has just made him head of the university's psychiatric department. A painful but satisfactory result.
criticism
The evangelical film observer draws the following conclusion: “The efforts of a psychiatrist to put science-based knowledge into practice in his daughters. In the cinematic adapted play, the delicious story of how these attempts almost fail is revealed. Quite a pleasure for an adolescent who is affected by it. ”The lexicon of the international film also comes to a positive assessment:“ David Niven as a self-confident psychology professor whose liberal teaching wisdom is badly shaken by the “irregular” behavior of his daughter. A gaggy Hollywood comedy. "
