Key Quote: Discussing how Hugo Fregonese’s 1949 pic Hardly a Delinquent, a source for his film, Moreno said: “I wanted to create a link to that film and create a dialogue between my generation and films from the classic era in Argentina, so I preserved the name of the main character and the film’s title ‘The Delinquents.”
