George Slv 11th Apr 2023		I see three different edits listed for the film. 1:35 original at IMDB, 1:33 video from The Video Beat, and 1:31 for the 1993 VHS release. I saw a TV showing in the 1990s but did not keep it. I recall a couple of references that I don't see in the current video. The title song was cut from that showing. It sounds like a bunch of fancy cutting for this film. Currently the complete Video Beat edition is available on Youtube.



George Slv 11th Apr 2023		About the poster for Trouble At 16. It mentions Banned. I perceive this is referring to the story involving killing a student by hitting him on the neck with a baseball bat. I'd agree this is too blatant violence for a film, even if it's only spoken of. Was the film banned in 1960 in some places?



George Slv 11th Apr 2023		Some points of interest for music fans: Conway Twitty was a major rock & roll star at the time for MGM, who made this movie. Jimmy Boyd as one of Twitty's gang is the pop singer who had hits like I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus and Dennis The Menace. Cliff Edwards has a small role. For Walt Disney he did the voice of Jimminy Cricket and sang the song When You Wish Upon A Star.
