I love this flick! I bought a 16mm print of this picture some years ago, and I project it every year! The black and white 35mm motion pictures made from the late 1930's until the mid 1960's speak for themselves! By the time "Going Steady" was photographed the crew were all season professionals and these men and women made the finest motion pictures ever! (That includes the television shows also shot on 35mm film!) The subject matter of two high school kids getting married in Reno and the girl getting knocked up on the honeymoon night, while her father can't stand the guy, cracks me up! Molly Bee was so attractive in this picture it's hard to take your eyes off of her when she's on camera! The interaction between Alan Reed Jr and Bill Goodwin is hilarious! Goodwin's character Mr. Turner is ready to bust a gut at any moment! Ken Miller was perfect as Woody! Everybody in this cast Rocks! Sadly after the 1970's was over, teenagers graduating from high school, never seem to grow up anymore! It's like we're surrounded by stupid adolescence idiots running around with colored hair and covered with dumb tattoos (the only reason they all got tattoos is because of the even dumber celebrities who have them, and that includes the over paid sports guys, singers, actors, etc.) Back in the 1950's young people were expected to grow up and take the reins of society, today I shutter to think what will happen when the current crop of teenagers in 2020 take over the world! This movie is a comedy if course, but it is also about growing up! Love the opening song that Molly Bee sings over the credits! If they made this movie today in 2020 it would suck! They would show the teenagers having sex, and ruin it! They would all be on their smart phones, they would have computers in every scene. Thank goodness we can escape back in time with a motion picture and be entertained - and forget about how horrible our country is now! The T & B presidential debates last night made me want to vomit! But I didn't 'cause I am running out of Covid-19 masks! Forget these other negative reviews, they are jaded - they wish they could have sex with a beautiful girl like Molly Bee was in this flick.
