AGFA is preparing a Blu-ray release of Sande N. Johnsen's Teenage Gang Debs (1966). The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on July 29.
Description: Shot guerilla-style in the shadows of Brooklyn, TEENAGE GANG DEBS combines the template of FREAKS with the blueprint for HAIRSPRAY to forge the most essential juvenile delinquent gutter-noir that ever was. With its cinéma vérité fight scenes, gang leaders who wear cardigan sweaters, and refreshing flip of gender roles in exploitation, this Something Weird classick feels like what would happen if The Shangri-Las stopped singing "Leader Of The Pack" and started stabbing punks with switchblades.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Preserved from Something Weird's 35mm print
Commentary with Something Weird's Lisa Petrucci, AGFA's Alicia Coombs, and author/filmmaker Janet Harvey
Bonus movie: THE REBEL SET (1959, 72 mins), preserved from a 16mm print
