''Splendor in the Grass'' is a 1961 film directed by Creator/EliaKazan, starring Creator/NatalieWood and Creator/WarrenBeatty. Wood and Beatty are Deanie Loomis and Bud Stamper, two [[DawsonCasting high-school]] sweethearts in a small town in 1928 Kansas. Bud's father is the richest man in town, owning an oil company, while Deanie's parents are shopkeepers. The real conflict between the two is not the class difference, however, but their intense desire to have sex with each other, and the social guidelines in small-town America in TheTwenties that won't let them consummate their relationship. Bud and Deanie's sexual frustration impacts their lives and the lives of several people around them.

''Splendor in the Grass'' is a 1961 film directed by Creator/EliaKazan, starring Creator/NatalieWood and Creator/WarrenBeatty.

''Splendor in the Grass'' marked Wood's arrival as a serious adult actress after starting out as a child actress and transitioning to "teenager" roles in films like ''Film/RebelWithoutACause''. It was Warren Beatty's film debut; he would become one of the cinematic heartthrobs of TheSixties.

* LieBackAndThinkOfEngland: Mrs. Loomis's attitude towards sex, as she explains while giving Deanie some very, very bad advice.
