"Ask Me, Don't Tell Me", (1961)

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4396....

"Nifty little documentary about the Youth For Service program in San Francisco, back in the late Fifties and early Sixties. This is a fascinating time capsule of the street life and 'jacket clubs' -- what we just lump together as 'gangs' today -- with colorful names and emblems like the Warlords, Esquires, Aces, Timers, Los Lobos, and the Lonely Ones. These kids are the real article, the 'disaffected youth' most of us only equated with fictional characters played by James Dean, Sal Mineo, or Elvis. The American Friends Service Committee actually brought together these young men who were once turf rivals to do volunteer community work. These were idealistic days, two years before a President was gunned down, and four years before San Franciscans started worrying about those weird-looking new kids on Haight-Ashbury. You start out watching this film, 'digging the scene' as one voice-over puts it, listening to the patter, ogling the vintage cruisers, the satin jackets, pompadours, and listening to the rock-and-roll and doo-wop in the background. But before it's over, you get carried along in the idealistic current flowing through the narration. I mean, these kids actually built a bridge!"
