This Sid Davis film about a young boy's slide into delinquency after his mother dies has some unforgettable imagery, especially the bizarre montage that is shown after he runs away from home. Unlike other films of its ilk, the young person's point of view is given credit rather than patronized. There are some technical problems with focus and lighting and some questionable dubbing, but the angles and framing of shots are stunning. If the explanatory narrative track was removed, this would be an artistic classic. As it is, I wonder if the producers knew the talent they had in the young lead actor. This film demonstrates a commitment to reform that is largely absent from American society today.
Producer: Sid Davis
