DATE BAIT 1960 (SHOUT TV)

Independently made juvenile delinquent film.

Gary Clark stars as Danny Logan, a young man in love with a beautiful girl named Sue (Marlo Ryan). Everything seems fine until a junkie named Brad (Richard Gering) shows back up after leaving rehab.

He immediately starts a knife fight with Danny after finding out he is dating Sue. Brad's brother is a top gangster in town and he also assaults Danny and warns him to stay away from Sue.

One things piles on top of another and Danny is fed up with people like Brad as well as Sue's father who considers him worthless for his daughter. After another brutal fight with Brad, the two young people decide to travel to Las Vegas and tie the knot, which they do.

Upon returning they have nothing but trouble. Sue's father wants to annul the marriage and Brad and his brother plan to get even with Danny. All of this leads to a violent confrontation in a park which brings death to some.

This isn't too bad for a small, independent film and it just doesn't seem to be as popular or well known as some other films in this particular genre. If you're a fan of the genre you might want to check it out.
