A WONDERFUL, YOUTHFUL, LOVIN', KISSIN' MUSICAL ABOUT SEVEN STOLEN SWEETIES AND THEIR SHOTGUN WEDDINGS!
Leave it to the Hollywood of the 1950's to concoct the perfect blend of brutal abduction and rape and peppy singing and dancing - all with a happy ending. Okay, perhaps the rape aspect was quite toned down (but not completely unmentioned btw), but you get the point. And the tagline all in caps above is from the original 1954 poster for the movie.
