Oh my..it doesn't get any better than this, as our sensibilities & intelligence along with some atual facts are assasinated, the fun and laughs abound in this gem about wayward youth in the 1930's. The party scenes are hilarious and the story is jolly good fun. I need to run however as i'm going to a " weinie bake & dance the hula " Dr P

Instead of being over the top dramatic or stupid to the point of comical, this movie tells a real story. Entertaining and not too preachy.
