I had never heard of Mischief until now.
After seeing it, I must say it's an outstanding film that's a lot of fun. The screenplay is taut which
eliminates a great deal of the needless fluff. What make it work is the terrific performances by Doug McKeon and Chris
Nash. They have great chemistry, and there's the wonderful setup of the 50's image.
It's curious to see Jonathan Bellah chasing after Marilyn McCauley in spite of knowing she's a "whore." Yet
Rosalie seems to be the right girl for him. Chris Nash's character makes things interesting because of his flawed background.
He initiates a series of events that'll happen in Nelsonville which reminds me of
Back to the Future. By the way, Kelly Preston is currently John Travolta's wife.
All in all, Mischief is a true gem from the 80's.
