Overview

Eric Marquis directs this a cautionary 'warning film' about seven young delinquents, played by non-professional actors, who commit a series of offences, increasing in severity from truancy to armed robbery. Seven Green Bottles is a realistic and hard-hitting portrayal of juvenile delinquency and explores at some length the reasons why the vulnerable 'green bottles' shatter their lives with crime.

This title is also available on the DVD/Blu-ray 'Bronco Bullfrog' in the BFI Flipside collection.
