| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThis is the 45-year-old Ginger's last starring film role. |
| User ReviewAshley HTeenage Rebel is a sweet and funny film. It is about a divorcee who gets custody of her 15 year old daughter. Ginger Rogers and Michael Rennie give awesome performances. The script is good but could have been better. Edmund Goulding did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed this motion picture because of the drama. Teenage Rebel is a must see. |
