CRY BABY
Johnny Depp, Amy Locane
Universal Pictures; Directed by John Waters
Rated PG-13; 85 minutes; 1990
The ultimate juvenile delinquent love story that proves kids knew how to be bad and look good before sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll. Set in Baltimore in 1954, Johnny Depp stars in this film that lovingly depicts the happiness of teen rebellion and the tragic pitfalls of early conformity. With a background of fast cars, gang wars, and sexual frustration, CRY BABY is filled with both original songs and unheralded music from this forgotten time as avant-garde director Waters satirizes the ‘50s movie genre.
