The Young One (1960)



A jazz musician seeks refuge from a lynch mob on a remote island, where he meets a hostile game warden and the young object of his attentions.

A simple tale with a small cast of characters is cleverly turned into a highly ambiguous allegory about racism, bigotry and innocence.

Maltin*1/2: "Turgid, much-too-obvious melodrama is a disappointment from Buñuel."
