What happens
Blue Denim is a 1959 American drama film directed by Philip Dunne, and starring Carol Lynley, Brandon deWilde, Warren Berlinger, Macdonald Carey, and Marsha Hunt. Adapted from the Broadway play by James Leo Herlihy and William Noble, it focuses on two teenagers, Arthur and Janet, who navigate their teenage pregnancy. Lynley and Berlinger, who starred in the original Broadway production, reprise their roles in the film. Dealing with the issues of teenage pregnancy and then-illegal abortion, Blue Denim was met with some controversy at the time of its release. Due to production code mandates at the time, the film does not feature the term "abortion" in its screenplay, and also significantly alters the final act from the stage play.
