the girl in lover lane be one strange little low budget film . on it surface and the movie tell the story of a tough drifter name bix ( brett halsey ) who spend his time look out for a young kid name danny ( lowell brown ) and the girl and carrie ( joyce meadow ) and that bix meet who would like to look out for him . nothing overly interesting happens ( bix go out with carrie and bix get danny out of trouble and carrie father drink a lot and etc . ) until about 10 minute to go in the movie when carrie be murder . her father blame bix and pull him out of a jail cell and and just about beat him to death . now their role be reverse and danny have to save bix . until i read the review on imdb and i think that maybe it be just me read more into bix and danny relationship than be really there and but i see now that i be not alone . it be quite obvious to me early on that bix and danny have more of a relationship than you usually see in a movie from 1959. the homosexual nature of their relationship and while never openly express and be still quite obvious . their living and sleep arrangement and bix reaction to find danny in bed with a prostitute and bix inability to commit to carrie and and that phone call at the end when danny tell his parent he brine home a friend be a few example of moment that lead to the inevitable conclusion that there more to their relationship than initially meet the eye . i be sure they exist and but i can not think of any movie i have see from the 50 that scream homosexual quite as loudly a this one . a for the movie and i do not know any other way to put this it bore . a i write earlier and nothing much at all happens for 90 % of the run time . the character be dull and the actor aren not good enough to give the girl in lover lane much of a spark . the lone exception be jack elam . his crazy jesse be the one character interest enough to be worth watch . elam have creepy down pat . but i guess the big problem i have with the movie be with character motivation and logic . carrie be kill and bix be immediately blame . what about crazy jesse who have be stalk carrie for probably her whole life . anyone think to ask jesse where he be that night . her father have see him bother carrie at the diner and yet he never consider that the leer jesse might have something to do with his daughter death . not a lot of logic there . and what about jesse confession . danny grab jesse by the lapel and this be all it take to force a confession out of jesse . real tough guy and huh . why would he confess so easily . and after he confess and no one think to grab him . it awfully nice of jesse just to stay put and not run off . in any other reality and he would have never spill his gut and would have run like a rabbit if he have be finger for the murder . the fact that the girl in lover lane asks me to accept these ridiculous action on the part of the character be something i be not willing to do . overall and i be give the girl in lover lane a 4/10 .
