    John Carroll was such a great actor in this movie, honest I'd never heard of him before. Such a good story, but wanted to see more at the end. Definitely would watch this again, loved it!

    I really enjoy this movie, it’s so cute!
    It’s too-bad that the titles and descriptions during this era tended to be sensationalized - assumedly for increased box-office sales - I’ve found them to be very misleading.
    …Would have passed this one by, of relying on the title - for example.
    Thanks for uploading such great flix!

    Heart-warming stuff, with a kid actor who can act. John Carroll is an amazing looking guy, and I thought he was great in Flying Tigers with John Wayne. A nice wee film. I respect the unresolved ending, too - very unusual, and totally perfect.

    The kid (Bobby) was excellent. John Carroll acts like Clark Gable here. Gable and Lombard actually gave the boy (Martin Spellman) a shot to be in the movies. Oddly, Craig Reynolds plays a guy named Clint Reynolds.

      @weatherlye71 5 років тому +1

      When I first heard the voices (I wasn't actually watching yet) I swore it was Clark Gable. I looked at the face, and it didn't match. I checked the credits and he wasn't there - so I thing you are right in your assessment. There was some Gabling going on!

    I almost gave up on the movie several minutes in, as the plot was revealed that the gangster was going to beat the law...but of course he won't. But I kept watching, and the story developed into something wonderful. Enjoy!

      Ive been searching for an old film for years.. and i dont know the name of it.
      The main character is an immigrant called Edward Payback. An ex criminal. The story starts of in a welfare office, where he is accused of quitting his job, although he was fired by his employer unfairly. He demands his rights, but gets no help and told to leave. His life starts to spiral out of control. No money, His wife starts to act up. He resorts to meeting his old mobb friends (for a robbery) whom then betray him after the job. He then goes out to get even with those that set him up whilst trying to save his marriage..

    There is a semi-biographical element to this movie, regarding
    Martin Spellman. He got his start in motion pictures because
    he'd been discovered at MGM Studios selling newspapers.

  • @nomadpi1
    @nomadpi1 7 місяців тому

    The plot was clunky, in accordance with blatant tear-jerkers. The cast followed the script to remain employed and did their personas in accordance to the director. Spellman did the best of it, but he's a child here and more enthusiastic about it. John Carroll, to me, loafed through every role he had in his career That could be the material he was slated in or his own boredom. The others were character actors and did their jobs. One note, Carroll's housekeeper; she was typecast and enjoyed herself. She played a housekeeper or mother in every job she had - iron-clad and identical in every role that you saw here in this film. Same costume, same accent, same everything! That said, I still watched the film. I'm near my eighth decade and watch all these 1930-1949 movies I can. I appreciated the efforts these studios made to create something and I crave the nostalgia I get seeing what I saw in my childhood. Thanks for posting this film.

    MGM briefly placed John Carroll under contract to keep their top star Clark Gable as a "threat" but the two became life long friends.

      Carroll left of his own accord to go to Republic because he got only supporting roles at MGM. L.B. Mayer adored Carroll.
