I like this shot of the bad kids of 1930s cinema during the Eisenhower era.

It's from “These Wilder Years,” a forgettable 1956 flick from MGM starring James Cagney and Barbara Stanwyck, shot on a dime, and pairing them with up-and-comers who didn't pan out: Don Dubbins and Betty Lou Keim. It's not worth watching. But I like imagining the warped 1950s sitcom that could've been made from the above shot. Are they parents? Do they have kids? Teenagers? Maybe Betty Lou is pregnant again. Oh, that Betty Lou. Cue laughtrack.
