Bad Boy, Bad Movie

Peculiarly ill-tempered version of much-made story. Seems to be a part tailor-made for Jackie Cooper, but long-time stalwart Meighan seems tired -- he died two years after this movie was made of cancer, and might not have been up to the part. Perhaps it would have been better done four years earlier when Cooper was doing Our Gang comedies at Roach....
