Gives the police a favorable image for a change, 29 September 1999
6/10
Author: Denny Keyes (statie68@hotmail.com) from Willow Grove, PA

This film, while typical of juvenile delinquent stories of the 50s, actually gives some insight into police investigative skill and professional capability. They are shown as being truly intelligent people, a refreshing change from the usually degrading image where they seem a little less intelligent than others. As always, I enjoy these nostalgic teenage 50s films and this is no exception.
