Twenty-five-year-old Kit, a dissatisfied garbage collector from Fort Dupree, South Dakota, is a provincial James Dean.

Declaration
film director
“The critics talked about influences on the picture and in most cases referred to films I had never seen. My influences were books like The Hardy Boys, Swiss Family Robinson, Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn, all involving an innocent in a drama over his or her head. I didn’t actually think about those books before I did the script, but it’s obvious to me now.”
