“Dino” (1957) stars Sal Mineo (1939-1976) as “Dino Minetta”, another in the popular “juvenile delinquent” problem films of the late Fifties. (See my previous posts on “The Young Savages”, “Crime in the Streets” (also written by Reginald Rose, author of “Dino”), “Hot Blood/The Wild One”, etc.) Dino, a young teenager is released from reform school for his complicity in a gang killing. Local social worker (Brian Keith) tries to help him adjust and deal with his abusive father. But Dino wants his old gang life back until he falls in love with a local girl and sees that his younger brother is headed down his same criminal path.
The story was originally broadcast on CBS-TV’s popular “Studio One” on January 2, 1956. Indeed, Mineo was nominated for an Emmy for his performance. The popular show was then turned in to the current film. Tragically, Mineo was murdered outside his apartment in Los Angeles on February 12, 1976.
Gerald Fried (1928- ) scored the film. It was issued on a 12” Epic LP (Epic LN-3404 –mono), See picture below. Fried has composed many film scores to include “Paths of Glory” and “Too Late the Hero” and TV episodes for, “Shotgun Slade” and “Riverboat”. He later wrote scores for episodes of “The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Gilligan's Island”, “Star Trek“, “Mission: Impossible”, “Family Affair” and he collaborated with Quincy Jones for “Roots”. FSM has issued several CDs with Fried’s music, including a two CD set with several of his “B” horror film scores, “The Return of Dracula.” (http://www.screenarchives.com/title_detail.cfm?ID=1712).
