Peer reviewedBriley, Ron – Social Education, 1997
Examines two seminal films of adolescent rebellion, "The Wild One" and "Rebel Without a Cause." Argues that both films expressed a discontent with, and acted as a critique of, the complacency and conformity of the postwar United States. Discusses the films' own ambivalent attitudes to issues of conformity and alienation. (MJP)
