Such a simple idea of a story, all turned on the father of the convict when the news program shows pictures of two sons from entirely different backgrounds. Perhaps this was the cheesy bit, as no one would show a child who had been a victim and compare him to a culprit, but this was when the burglar's father decided to 'even the score' and pursue the child himself. This in any event is what I truly best remember about this movie.
Seemingly little things, like the boy having to walk home is suddenly emphasized by cigarette butts discovered under a 'dark tree'.
I always remembered this movie rather fondly (watching it as a child but in the bright morning daylight) and wondered who had been in it or what it was called.
All I remembered was Mother Stephens from Bewitched had been a slouchy landlady, so I had to track the movie down here thru Mabel Albertson.
Took me a bit.
Enjoyed it very much and would hate to see it now and see it in a lesser light. That would be a shame.
I think it definitely would be worth watching.
