Susan Slade 1961 DVD - Troy Donahue / Connie Stevens

Premarital sex, secrets, and society swirl around the life of 17-year-old Susan Slade. Returning to California after ten years at a remote Chilean mine where her father was chief engineer, shy Susan boards a ship and is romanced by Conn White, a handsome mountain climber bound for Alaska. Once home in Monterey, Susan yearns to hear from Conn while attracting the attention of two local young men: Hoyt Brecker, a horse wrangler with a troubled family history, and Wells Corbett, a well-meaning suitor living in his high-society parents' shadow. Two years later, Susan hides a desperate secret her socially conscious mother insists she keeps. As she navigates heartbreak, family expectations, and romance, Susan must discover whether she can find true happiness—and what it really means to come of age.
