THE STRANGE ONE (1957)

Jocko De Paris, cadet leader in a Southern military academy, so manipulates events that George Avery, Jr., son of the school's executive officer, is found drunk and expelled. Through various pressures, Jocko silences such involuntary accomplices as his roommate Harold Koble, football star Roger Gatt and freshmen Robert Marquales and Maynard Simmons, a girl-fearing cadet whom Jocko terrorizes into dating Rosebud, a town girl.
There is plenty of shots of half-naked cadets and the sexual tension is incredible for its time -- a situation that required the censors to demand cuts that were too homoerotic. One of the more interesting cadets is Cockroach, an effete young man obviously in love with DeParis.
