With a very young Anne Shirley and John Beal in the lead the real weight of keeping this film going rests on the supporting cast.In particular Guy Kibee who does his usual bumbling drunk role with effortless ease.Then there is Douglas Dumbrille cast this time in a more sympathetic role than his subsequent dyed in the wool villains.He to me is in fact the real star with his rather warm characterisation.Anne Shirley was only 18 when she made this film and yet it was her 37th!It was the sort of role that she seemed to get stuck in till she grew up.John Beal is fairly annonymous in the lead juvenile role.The film is fairly unmemorable and of no particular merit.
