Hollywood's ambivalence about challenged suburban conformity is demonstrated in many movies:
Rebel Without a Cause (1955)- charismatic James Dean plays the archetypal teenager struggling with adult world in mutual incomprehension- his charter eventually recognises his father's authority & valuable support
The Blackboard Jungle (1955)- disruptive behaviour in the classroom & some localities wanted it banned- Hollywood's sympathy for disaffected youth proved limited- classroom teacher regains control
