The Procrastinator

About This Movie

The Procrastinator is an interesting little slice of 1950s high school life that captures that unique blend of adolescent wonder and distraction. Jean, the protagonist, is not your typical academic overachiever; she’s more interested in her comic books and radio than textbooks. The pacing feels leisurely, almost mirroring her avoidance of responsibility, which gives you a sense of the era’s charm. The performances, while not groundbreaking, convey that relatable teenage struggle between duty and desire. It’s the kind of film that lingers with you; it’s nostalgic in its atmosphere and relatable in its themes of procrastination and the weight of expectations.

This film is somewhat of a rarity, with few prints available and even less information on its director and production history, making it a fascinating piece for collectors. Most copies are found in VHS format, with very limited DVD releases, contributing to its allure and scarcity. The themes of procrastination and adolescence resonate, keeping collector interest alive despite its obscurity.
