Good 66 Points 1961

“Introducing Warren Beatty” reads the opening credits, reason enough to watch this overwrought high school movie. The legendary womanizer shot out of the gates a bona fide heartthrob – the richest boy in town, captain of the football team, and nice guy to boot. Natalie Wood matches him in to-di…
