Movie review - "A Dangerous Age" (1957) **1/2

 Sidney Furie got his start working for Canadian television and this debut feature - entirely financed by his dad - feels more like a TV play. It's a simple tale of a couple who want to elope - both less than 21. 

It's unpretentious, quite well acted. The adults come across as smug prats. We never get to meet the parents. Like a lot of films that feel like TV plays, it needed another key subplot.

Location filming helps as does the jazz score. Shane Rimmer, from many Hollywood films shot in the UK, is in it.
