action
History teacher Jeff Carter started crime in the city with a youth club. When a new music club called Gopher Hole opens, residents fear that the dive bar will have a negative impact on their sons and daughters. Jeff Carter decides to check out the club for himself. One day he catches the teenagers Doris, Willy and Leo letting the young crook Danny instigate them to rob a warehouse. When Jeff tries to prevent the break-in, Danny kills him. The gang managed to escape, but was caught by the police a short time later. Danny, the only one in the group who is no longer a minor, is brought to justice and sentenced to life imprisonment.
Remarks
Dangerous Years (translated: dangerous years) flopped at the box office and was quickly forgotten. Marilyn Monroe can be seen in three short shots as Evie, the waitress in the Gopher Hole . Monroe biographer Donald Spoto criticized the film for being pompous and wrote that Monroe caused the only laugh with an ironic remark at a teenage boy who wanted to brag in front of her. Dangerous Years was her second film, but it was released before her debut Scudda Hoo! Scudda Hay! was released in theaters in December 1947. Her role is bigger than the brief appearance in her debut and the first role she was credited for. Neither film was a success for her or the producers, so 20th Century Fox studio decided not to renew her one-year contract.
