5 out of 7 people found the following review useful.
Standard late '40's William Bendix vehicle., 21 September 1998
Author: riley-7 from Boston

A good basic story with realistic locations. Hits all the right emotional buttons. Overall sort of a non-sectarian "Boys Town". At times seems almost like a documentary. William Bendix plays a "tough as nails, heart of gold" type. Allen Martin believable as good kid torn between good (Bendix) and evil (Clements). Stanley Clements nasty enough.
