synopsis
When a shy young girl decides she wants to change her image to improve her feelings of confidence and self-worth, her class-conscious cousin does a Pygmalion on her - starting with bobbing her beautiful long hair to make her look more like the Jazz Clique that the young girl aspires to. Some wonderful performances make this a classic tale of teenage angst. Introduced by Henry Fonda.
