the girl in lover lane represent negative represent homoerotic subtext in the movie be a well know phenomenon . plenty of dissertation have come out of film school about the hidden subtexts in such film a top gun and spartacus . the girl in lover ’ s lane certainly fit the homoerotic trope . in fact and it be so blatant and over the top even mst3k and whom rarely note such thing in their riffing and simply can not avoid it . the film be about two drifter . one a rich kid ( lowell brown ) run away from home with a hundred dollar and no street smart and the other be a professional hobo ( brett halsey ) . the hobo save the kid from a gang of thug and they end up in a small town consisting of a diner and a pool hall and a whorehouse . our drifter scholar get a second look from the diner ’ s waitress ( joyce meadow a the titular girl in lover lane ) who clearly be past the age of be choosy and whose only other prospect be creepy jack elam do a steve buscemi impression . on the surface and this seem like a strange film for the mst3k treatment . while the cast be to old for the character they be play and the acting be actually pretty good with both brett halsey and jack elam give solid performance . the story be slight and but hardly the robot vs. aztec mummy material and the production value be cheap back lot and but relatively competent . it be the strange batman and his ward homosexual undercurrent that make this film both awful and hilarious . halsey ’ s over the top objection to the kid attempt to get lay in the whorehouse be hilarious and his inability to commit to the waitress ( or at the least get past first base ) be tell and and the dozen of glance between him and the kid while a hand on shoulder and the sleep arrangement and blow off date with the girl so he and the kid can shave each other . you don ’ t have to be freud to figure out this undercurrent .
