So Young, So Bad is a very erratic B movie that suffers both from an uneven script and poor production values. The sound quality is terrible and the movie looks much older than 1950. Paul Henreid has a few crazy bad lines and his character is a bit dull.
On the plus side, the young cast of girls in the reform school, headed by Anne Francis and Rita Moreno, are really compelling. There are some believable and daring scenes of life in the streets and within the correction system.
This movie has some guts and is almost cutting edge at times, but most of it is wasted. A 4 rating.
