Little Darlings - Film Screening

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Del Mar Summer Camp geared for adults lines up four Camp themed films in the month of August.

Every Thursday in August come to the Del Mar and do some arts & crafts while enjoying fine local organic ale from The Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing at 8:30pm then see the camp flick at 9:30pm and earn your merit badge!

Tickets for the LITTLE DARLINGS screening are $5.00
Santa Cruz Brewery pints will be sold in the Mezzanine Arts & Crafts designated area.

Little Darlings:

When it was released in 1980 Little Darlings, a feature vehicle for teenage stars Kristy McNichol and Tatum O'Neal, was considered controversial for its subject matter: McNichol and O'Neal play 15-year-olds who, after being packed off to camp, engage in a duel to see who can lose her virginity first. The picture was rated R, presumably for its frankness in dealing with its subject matter. But what's remarkable about it today isn't how innocent it seems; in fact, it comes off as unusually perceptive. Yet the picture has a kind of off-the-cuff vitality, the sort of thing that you rarely see in contemporary mainstream sexual coming-of-age stories, which are often just too knowing, too self-aware. In Little Darlings, McNichol and O'Neal play young women from different ends of the class spectrum: McNichol's Angel is a tough-talking, T-shirt-wearing, cigarette-smoking wise-cracker who's being raised by a single mom. O'Neal's Ferris comes from an upper-crust family (she arrives to catch the camp bus in a natty Jay Gatsby-like getup), but she's smarting because her mother has just taken off, perhaps permanently. The two take an instant dislike to one another and are all too happy to compete in the challenge laid out by a wily, sexually precocious cabin mate (Krista Errickson): The first of the two to lose her virginity will win $100. Ferris sets her sights on sultry-sweet camp counselor Gary (Armand Assante); Angel puts the moves on a boy attending a neighboring camp, a laconic heartthrob named Randy (played by an oh-so-young Matt Dillon).

Running Time: 97
Rated: R
