A brilliant Mitchum film w him as an adopted "Guardian" to orphaned kids.
31 May 2003 | by (USA) – See all my reviews

What more can I say but that this was a brilliantly done film with Robert Mitchum who was "adopted" by some kids as their "Uncle Joe" because they were orphaned when their parents died in an accident.

You find this film with Mitchum being a "Homeless person" who lived either in cardboard boxes and or on park benches. He is "taken in" by some kids to act as their guardian so that these kids would not be moved to a childrens home.

This is one of the VERY few drama's I like as much as I do and highly recommend that it be watched. You see Robert Mitchum as you have never seen him before.
