Rebel Without a Cause: 1955
The film “Rebel Without a Cause” starring James Dean as a disaffected teen opened in Minneapolis at the RKO Orpheum Theater on November 23, 1955. It moved to the RKO Pan on December 30, 1955 and continued in second run theaters well into 1956. Perhaps a follow-up to this excellent film was the not-so-excellent “Teenage Crime Wave,” which opened at the Lyric Theater on December 7. Other great film names were “Lawless Street,” “Running Wild” and “Juke Box Gangs.”
