Strong stuff for the Eisenhower years
“Blue Denim,&#34; made in 1959, boldly addresses teen sexuality at a time when Hollywood was beginning to treat this age group as real individuals with real problems. Before this, the Hollywood notion of “teen ager” was Andy Hardy, whose biggest difficulty was where he and the neighborhood kids would put on a show. Based on the hit Broadway play, “Blue Denim” is an intelligent, sensitive portrayal of pregnancy and family dysfunction, focusing on Arthur Bartley (Brandon deWilde) and Janet Willard (Carol Lynley), who discover they’re “in trouble” after their first and only sexual encounter.<br /><br />Though the film doesn’t treat teen pregnancy lightly, it doesn’t resort to melodrama. In fact, the movie realistically deals with a difficult subject, particularly since it was made during the Eisenhower years, when Hollywood was notorious for downplaying controversy in order for its films to reach the widest possible audience. Previous Hollywood films that dealt with out-of-wedlock pregnancy focused on mature and/or disreputable women. Janet is the typical girl next door, so her character generates audience empathy almost immediately. Arthur is depicted not as a wise guy looking for a quick score so he can brag to his buddies, but as a caring, if naive, 16-year-old who feels genuine affection for Janet. Since both deWilde and Lynley are young and attractive, they defy stereotypes of the time.<br /><br />Janet’s father (Vaughn Taylor) is an upstanding college professor determined to raise his only daughter with a strict code of morality. Arthur’s father (Macdonald Carey) is a retired army officer who repeatedly preaches about the value of life in the service and is preoccupied with his moments of past glory. Warren Berlinger plays Ernie, Arthur’s best friend, who doubles as Arthur’s confidante.<br /><br />The film’s ending, unfortunately, seems a cop-out in an otherwise forward-thinking picture, but I suppose under the old Production Code, it was necessary in order to get the movie made. For the most part, however, “Blue Denim” is still a powerful motion picture. The unrated, widescreen DVD release contains no bonus features.
