Description: "Teen Movies: American Youth on Screen is a detailed look at the depiction of teens on film, of the influence they have had in and on cinema and the different impact they have had throughout film's history.

Films studied include Rebel Without a Cause (1955), Splendor in the Grass (1961), Carrie (1976), The Breakfast Club (1985), I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) and American Pie (1999)."--BOOK JACKET.
