Daddy-O (1958)

How bad is it? It's a pretty typical 1950s juvenile delinquency film.
Should you see it? Not really.

A truck driver encounters a beautiful blonde on the highway, and then runs into her again at the local teen hang-out, where he happens to moonlight as a singer. She challenges him to a race - which she wins - and he gets arrested, because someone got killed near where they raced. He then decides to track down the real killer, a drug-runner, and things get tense. There's a few minor laughs, particularly in the acting of the gym owner, but this film is nothing special.


Added: Just saw the MST3K version. It adds nothing.
