Oh my goodness, we need these films more today than ever before, values have changed, society is at fault, parents are no longer allowed to chastise a child,the law has taken away al parental rights. We need more of the films with a moral. Thank you for posting this film.
i love this movie - I like Al Frazier - I wish he was my next door neighbor. I like the scene where Mary Beth Hughes gets rid of Jimmy - how cold and callous she is, and when he leaves, the emptiness in her face when she realizes how awful she was - it was good acting. Thanks for posting this.
This picture relates to today's kids and families too. I understand that it's not always the parents fault, but I also know that a lot of kids wouldn't be doing what they do if the parents would just wise up.
Plenty of parents are afraid of the government. They don't have any parenting rights. A child is encouraged by authorities including schools to report any disciplinary action. That's why parenting has become hand-offish. Parents are just waiting for the day they finish their 18 year sentence as parents. Most parents are also afraid Big brother (Social Services) will take their children away and put them in foster homes if they discipline them. The funny thing children are not taken away from the real abusers who openly tell the social services go ahead , take him. But if they see the fear (for the child) in the eyes of the parent, social services workers turn into dogs barking at the parents and insist on taking away the kids as a punishment for the parent who really wants to keep their kids and raise them well as law abiding citizens. A long time ago 2 of my boys were horse playing. The younger boy ended up with a scratch under his eye. The next day he refused to go to school because, as he put it, he feared they will place him in a foster home. That day I understood that somebody (fill in whoever you think) has destroyed our society. My wife and I were lucky. Our child was smart enough to turn the table on the school and it's indoctrination to turn my boy into a spy and an enemy. Other friends of mine were not that lucky. Their kids walk like kings in the house knowing fully well that their parents are afraid of them. All they need to do is call 911 and get their parents in trouble. Please don't tell me you have never been afraid of those little brats and never wished you never brought them into this (your) world. I know some of you will attack me for telling the truth, but somebofy has to tell it. Sorry for ruffling your feathers.

Everyone needs a friend like Al. It's sad that Jimmy had to make up a home life that didn't exist. Being an only child made his life even more lonely. Good movie.
My Family's overall life has improved exponentially since my Male Parent died 3 yrs ago. He was very antagonistic, very negative, & very abusive verbally; He often, too, physically beat my awesome Mother while I was growing - up-- images I'll never forget nor ever forgive. Never seen my Mother happier. Financially, she's in the best position ever. 😀She so deserves it.

He was so ashamed , embarrassed by his mother and fathers behavior, of his life, Jimmy created a life that he was never given ; because of the selfishness of his mother and father, you can see he was invisible to them , he Jimmy on the other hand did everything a boy, as a kid fending for himself getting ready for school alone eating alone always alone he did everything a boy ; young man 17 years old could do trying to make his parents see him , see themselves,So they could be proud of him and like wise of them, it’s a miracle that his out look was as good as it was he was Vulnerable just ripe for someone who has bad intentions to come and take advantage of his naivety and use him for his own intentions which were no good . He did not have a Mother figure. Nor a Father figure . Towards the end he had a few moments of what it is like to have happiness, joy, True love. End well with hope for a better tomorrow. Thank you Monica
I need for this to have a happy ending. Just by reading the comments I feel like it’s my own life that this is about. My father didn’t care about me. He had his own family...A girlfriend who had 17 yer old daughter and 18 year old son. He decided that they were his family. Even though he had 4 children by another woman before I was born. Neither of my parents were loving towards me. A memory: Thanksgiving.... he left mama and I alone with no money He had Thanksgiving with his new family. We walked to the convenient store with the change we found and bought soup. A can of soup. I tried to share with my mom. She gave me the entire can. Then let me know for years that I ate the entire can. If I could do my life over, I would run away.
@@shananalexander9789 I did not have a good childhood growing up , I reminded myself that there is more out there ! I want more , I never wanted to be like them ,Act like them ! I wanted better for myself , It was a loveless house and empty emotionally , I hug that child within and tell her it wasn’t you , for you have done nothing wrong , I love you 💕 and I am sorry I could not have been there for you as I was a child as well , so now I can parent you and foster your inner child
This was sort of corny, but in a very nice way. Poor kid didn't have a chance. This movie was made before I was even born, but I don't think there were many dysfunctional families back then. At least I hope not. I know it was just a story, but if it had been real, I would hope that Jimmy went back to the cafe/diner to live. Seems like he received love, kindness, understanding, and respect there. Thanks for a fine film! 🌈🌈🌈
A lot of things in life occur BEFORE we are born; Doesn't mean they're taboo or off - limits nor does it make a person unique. Life moves at an astounding speed. Grab & cherish as many experiences as U possibly can.
Lots of films were made BEFORE you or any of us were born. Still OK to watch them. It's called broadening your horizons. Like the great Lauren Bacall once said, "A movie NEVER seen is STILL a new movie."
Great movie!... STILL has life lessons for today. Children just want their parents time and attention. If they don't get it from you, they're going to find it somewhere else.
Did you know: on the Batman TV .show 1966, Burt Ward who played Dick Grayson, Robin was 20 yrs. old at the time. He was portraying a teenager. Bob Denver of Gilligan's Island also was in his.20's as well.
To be honest with myself and who ever reads what I'm writing at the end of this movie I cried because my mom left my dad when I was 4 then I lived with my grand mom. I was allowed to be on the streets in Philly Pa. Ed
Jimmy's a high school kid who leaves school to work in a shoe store & wants to marry an older nightclub hussy who falls for him; but he kills her lover after being his errand boy, so the judge sends him back home to live with his parents until he grows up..ooh boy, what a tall tale
...I completely agree with you...with this proviso....family is most important, but a loving mother AND a loving father....far too many minority kids are lacking a father so they turn to gangs and drugs.....
Jimmy reminds me of my ex-husband. John, the current and final ex, told lie after lie and story after story. I wonder if he had watched this movie and learned the technique and tactic from it. Poor John! He, too, wanted the perfect family, didn't have one so made things up. Took me awhile to put the pieces together then when I confronted Mr. Probst he confessed he was a liar - and I married him ANYWAY! A fairy tale gone bad, to say the least.
Laura,The main problem with growing up these days is that children were not, and are not,brought up respecting one another.They are no longer taught manners when they are young,and told right from wrong.When you are taught these things, they will only "run with" the same disciplined kind, and stay out of trouble.When children realize that being disciplined is for their own good,they will not only respect their parents,but everyone they come in contact with.This can be hard for a single parent,but it is possible.Manners,manners ,manners.
I'm pretty High (weed). Is this like a grey zone? 1/2 silent-1/2 talkie? There seems to be portions of film shot in silent vs.Talkie To keep budget? You tell Me?? lol..
@@thisnametooktolong or better still only 5 dollars to celebrate??, I suppose that was supposed to cover a woman, a nice gift for her, flowers for her, drinks, dinner, dancing and a hotel room? That five was good but not that good.
The kid should lighten-up. At least he had a decent home, a dad who worked, white and a nice girlfriend. He should have been born black, poor, dad in prison, living on the ultra-violent south side of Chicago so what's he griping about? My brothers and I had NOTHING but we all by the Grace of GOD got out of the ghetto and are all well paid professionals. Though our Mom was a real American hero the poor woman had a lot of 'upstairs' issues so the kid in the movie don't get my vote.
@@tuliprose7259 I agree with you. The poverty follows the bad parents. I don't feel bad for people in the ghetto because they're poor, I feel bead for them because they so often have an awful family structure.
So many non white people here with chips the size of the Titanic on their shoulders, who think that to be born white in any circumstances is to be privileged. Obvious ignorance and lack of character .. grow the F.U. 👱🏻♀️🙏🏻❣️
Hmmm, this movie must have been played on TV back in '44 on Sunday evening so parents might see it. Wonder if it helped any selfish cruel neglectful parents to change? Nah!
This movie would have been in theaters. Television was in it’s infancy and there were very few stations. WWII stopped the industry in its tracks. Even after the war a television was a luxury almost no one had for quite a while.
@@davidcopperfield-DickensBook Yes. The only entertainment before the 1950"s was Theaters, sports events, outdoors , reading , games , stuff like that. TV came out in the late 1940's 48 or 49.
Not sure if I am the only one who picked up on this, but George Lloyd's portrayal of the diner operator seems to be the Christ example in this film - and he did it great!
Book-ended by over-the-top preaching that parents not neglect their kids, this unique story reaches some surprising emotional depths. And where else can you hear a pretty love-interest nightclub singer rhyme words like "shirk"? Characters not too original (yup, the nightclub owner IS the bad guy again.. and mom is a drunk and dad too busy) but one supporting character was quite a remarkable surprise. ruclips.net/video/ORlbPc0E478/видео.html
That boy was so innocent he came off as a complete idiot and since he isn't a secondary character in a sitcom this makes him unbearable. His folks were just as if not more painful to watch if I wanted to see two adults who despise one another fighting constantly I'd simply call on my parents. Not to mention all of his classmates who are all about middle aged. I knew in advance this will be awful but that's just whince inducing still cheers for sharing that monstrosity
You are sentenced Jimmy, it's 1944 either Prison or the Service. I say the Service. Do good for you and your country. Sentence was carried out. Jimmy entered WW2.
Ok, blame the parents, in some instances it might make sense, But this man, their son, was not stupid--just naive. So they make a story out of his inability to grow up and he continues to lie about his upbringing. I found the film corny as heck and the acting --well, the less said the better. Not a B movie, a D movie.

A good christian, something you'll only see in the movies

Al was a muslim.
That boy was so innocent he came off as a complete idiot and since he isn't a secondary character in a sitcom this makes him unbearable. His folks were just as if not more painful to watch if I wanted to see two adults who despise one another fighting constantly I'd simply call on my parents. Not to mention all of his classmates who are all about middle aged. I knew in advance this will be awful but that's just whince inducing still cheers for sharing that monstrosity
You are sentenced Jimmy, it's 1944 either Prison or the Service. I say the Service. Do good for you and your country. Sentence was carried out. Jimmy entered WW2.

Ok, blame the parents, in some instances it might make sense, But this man, their son, was not stupid--just naive. So they make a story out of his inability to grow up and he continues to lie about his upbringing. I found the film corny as heck and the acting --well, the less said the better. Not a B movie, a D movie.
39:49 Jeez, shorthand ???
Anything starring Mary Beth Hughes has got to be good! Ahem, ahem.
Time to switch movies. 6 minutes into it.

I liked the MST3K version better. :D
I see men dressed like women .... in our face even way back then.
A deprived childhood? Give me a break.
Deprivation isn't always obvious.
Drinking, conflict, and inattention has very serious consequences in a child’s development .
Money means nothing, when you’re emotionally neglected .. I know
