This film tells a story that depicts a particularly cruel reality. There is a high school student Bard ( Hatred Betty) in the southern town of Kansas who falls in love with Dini (Natalie Wood ), and has the idea of not marrying. However, due to conservative ideas, his father is not allowed. He believes that physiological needs can be solved with money, and asks him to wait until he graduates from college to talk about lifelong events. As a result, Bard has a relationship with a slutty girl, Wang Ni (played by Otti Cheristi). , Dini was so stimulated that amentia was sent to a mental hospital, while Bard was sent back to his hometown. After Dini recovered, he returned to visit Bard in his hometown, and found that Bard had returned from a lively and gorgeous teenager to dullness, and suddenly felt the cruelty and loneliness of reality. The filming was very successful and moved people's hearts. The descriptions are enough to reflect the common misunderstandings of today's middle school students in the relationship between men and women. The excellent performances of the actors add a lot of color to the film. The film won the Best Story and Screenplay Award at the 34th (1961) Oscars .

It is another Kazan film that is wild and poetic in expression and can be viewed in many ways in content. On the surface, it depicts sexual repression and explores the relationship between characters and society. In the state of multiple situations, the viewer can experience that the characters return to peace after struggling and sadness, but the best ending is the fact that things are different from others. 【1961 Top Ten No.3】

Miss Metcalf: Now, what do you think the poet means by this line ? Deanie Loomis.
Wilma Dean: I'm sorry, Miss Metcalf. I... I didn't hear the question.
Miss Metcalf: Well, I know it's Spring, Deanie, but I must ask you to pay more attention. I quoted some lines from Wordsworth's Ode on Intimations of Immortality, Deanie. Did you hear them ?
Wilma Dean: I'm afraid not Miss Metcalf.
Miss Metcalf: Well, then I must ask to turn your text to page 380...
Wilma Dean: Yes.
Miss Metcalf: You read the lines to me. Stand, please.
Wilma Dean: "Though nothing can bring back the hour/Of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower/We will grieve not. Rather find/Strengh in what remains behind..."
Miss Metcalf: Now, perhaps you can tell me exactly what the poet means by such expressions as "Splendor in the grass" and "Glory in the Flower".
Wilma Dean: Well, I think it have some...
Miss Metcalf: Yes ?
Wilma Dean: Well, when we're young, we looks at thing very idealistically I guess. And I think Woodsworth means that... that when we're grow-up... then, we have to... forget the ideals of youth... and find strength... Miss Metcalf, may I please be...?
