The Film Club: Children of Marx and Coca Cola

on BBC Two England

David Robinson, film critic of The Times, introduces two films about teenagers.

Time Stands Still
Starring Istvan Znamenak
Denes's father fled Hungary in 1956. His record as an armed revolutionary has overshadowed his children's prospects but by the mid-1960s, Denes seems more interested in girls and American rock music than politics. Peter Gothar's sharp, humorous portrait of adolescence, brilliantly photographed by Lajos Koltai, won prizes in Cannes, New York and Chicago.
Screenplay by GEZA BEREMENY and PETER GOTHAR.
Directed by PETER GOTHAR
(A Hungarian film with English subtitles. First showing on British television)

and at 11.25pm
The Young Stranger
Starring James MacArthur, Kim Hunter
Seventeen-year-old Hal's father is a movie executive whose career comes before the feelings of his son. When Hal is involved in a violent incident, the police are called in and matters escalate with even his father not believing in his innocence. This dynamic portrayal of the generation gap was the debut of John Frankenheimer, director of the recently re-released The Manchurian Candidate
Screenplay by ROBERT DOZIER Produced by STUART MILLAR
Directed by JOHN FRANKENHEIMER
