movie portrayals of adolescents  

Definition(s)

  • During the first decades of cinema, adolescents sporadically had roles in many American films, such as Seventeen (1916), Harold Teen (1928), and Wild Boys of the Road (1933). However, a more coherent genre of teen film was just beginning to form when young stars like Deanna Durbin and Mickey Rooney achieved fame in the late 1930s.
