High School Hellcats (1958) is a teen rebellion bad-girl high school youth exploitation movie which is an integral part of the American International Pictures juvenile delinquent series of releases of the late 1950s, bridging the gap between late noir and the full blown counter-culture of the following decade.
For those curious about the bad behaviour of these high school hellcats, one need look no further than the prison movies of the film noir era, or some further back into the male rebellions of the 1930s, and 1940s, with sullen and cynical rebellious behaviour, it actually as if the teens did learn from the noirs how to tear it all down.
