Tom Boys and Track: "Billie" (1965) - The Mod Club







A comedy that always stuck with me after seeing it as a kid - I always thought something was odd about this story: perhaps an early lesbian experience for Patty Duke's character? A female jock and of course the male cheerleaders - too funny!

The beat: First signs of the "disco beat"?

A 16-year-old tomboy and high school athlete becomes embroiled with the lives around her boyfriend whose conservative father is running for mayor.


Directed by Don Weis
Starring Patty Duke, Jim Backus and Jane Greer
