With a title like this you know it has to be good. Irvin Kershner got his start directing on this small-scale tale of kids and crime. Jonathan Haze and Abby Dalton are standouts in the cast, while the uncredited executive producer who put up the cash is said to have been Roger Corman.

Mel Sloan, an influential faculty member at the USC School of Cinematic Arts for more than 50 years, died Jan. 12 from pneumonia at his home in Van Nuys, Calif. He was 86.
Sloan served on the Sca faculty from 1946 until his retirement in 1997. He taught a wide variety of courses for undergraduates and graduates, including classes in his specialty, editing, and influenced such future movie makers as Irvin Kershner, Randal Kleiser, George Lucas, Walter Murch, Gary Rydstrom and Robert Zemeckis.
