Sinekatalog’s take

A frail boy fights for acceptance from a street gang leader in Frank Borzage's sentimental drama. Borzage's belief in decency and loyalty shapes the story. Earnest and sometimes stirring, best for those who appreciate old-school humanist melodrama.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
