TOO SOON TO LOVE isn't exactly something that should end up in the Masterpiece theater category. After all it has a score of 5,0 and only two reviews with one scored a 4 and another without rating so it would look like a terrible movie. Last October I finally saw it and I kinda liked it more than what I was lead to believe.
The plot focuses on high school students Jim Mills and Kathy Taylor that fall in love and get frisky (all implied of course since it's 1960) and as you'd expect the girl becomes pregnant but then the couple don't know what to do next, and Jim ends up involved in a drug dealing scheme. At the same time Buddy (Jack Nicholson) is a young guy that tries to steal Kathy from Jim without success.
My summary refers to the fact that the French new wave were always shot in black and white and had a soothing atmosphere, and this had both. The acting was decent by all no-names except Nicholson that went on to greater things and considering most of the trials and tribulations the lead has after his drug dealing scheme goes awry, the ending can't be nothing but uplifting for the viewer.
If you are into movies of the 1960s don't miss if you have a chance, and if you are more into the old French movies than me you'll likely compare this to those.
