Warning: Spoilers
Jeanne (Joan Taylor, 20 Million Miles to Earth) has just dumped boring - and safe driving - Larry (Robert V. Stern) and hooked up with hot ro racer Nick (Dick York!), who drives 55 MPH which is three times the speed limit. Nick and everyone in his car celebrate his great football game and the school dance by racing over a hundred miles an hour, blasting right into a truck and killing everyone but Jeannie, ruining her face forever or at least until a mad scientist can go all Eyes Without a Face on her.

This movie has a radio DJ who reminds us about teenicide, which is "the fine art of killing yourself, and maybe someone else, before you reach the age of 20. You do it with an automobile."

They never show the destroyed face of Jeannie but we're left to imagine just how horrible it is.

Last Date was directed by Lewis D. Collins, who made 127 movies, including Jungle Goddess. It was written by Bruce Henry. I don't know if it will make you slow down.
