Leave your thoughts about Blue Denim.
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonBlue Denim is a product of not only a more conservative time but also a more conservative Hollywood. Yet the film is nevertheless free of the hysteria and hypocrisy often found in vintage works of this nature. |
| User ReviewAlegra SThis was a great film for its time. It tells a touching love story while simultaneously teaching a lesson of abstinence and the physical dangers of abortion at the time. I will definitely be looking for a DVD of this film at Wal-Mart! |
| User ReviewAmy BGreat teen movie about growing up to fast. |
| User ReviewCornelius SBernard Herrmann's intense score highlights the dramatic tension of the subject matter. The film's main themes include inter-generational conflict and barriers to communication, which are still relatable themes today. Warren Berlinger has a strong supporting performance, while deWilde seems at time slightly forced. |
| User ReviewAddison PIt talks about a common issue and how the proper way of answering it. Its a crazy thing, love can make u do things... |
| User ReviewMark CKind of funny. But I think that it was supposed to be serious. I thought that it made it's point well about premarital sex. I liked the end it got tense. |
