You can't call this story sweet because of the bad conditions of the reform school and the couple of shady characters, but the two little boys, the aunt and uncle, and the bootleggers girl friend definitely are. All in all, a very good movie confronting an important issues and morals. My favorite part is when Jimmy first arrives at the school, and gets into a small scrap with his bunk mate, friend to be. His friend comes off as a real jerk at first, but since Jimmy obviously knows how to keep his mouth shut about things and is nice, the friend automatically lightens up. It was great to see Mr. Kelly give himself up at the end. Such a good kid shouldn't suffer on account of an irresponsible man.
