Smart film from Coppola about gang rivalry. Like Rumble Fish it's based on a novel by S E Hilton - who wrote it when she was just 16! Apparently the book was banned due to it's portrayal of family disfunction, and underage drinking / smoking. The film was mostly trashed by critics on release.
Heck of a cast in this film though - most of whom went on to become megastars (Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, Matt Dillon, Emilio Estevez, Patrick Swayze, Ralph Macchio, Diane Lane etc). Also beautiful cinematography by Stephen H. Burumwith lots of lovely fades, dissolves and sunset shots.
