Interesting little cute story

It is far less lousy than it seems to be at first sight. It looks like a stupid and naive movie, directed by Lambert Hillyer, who was a forgettable B movie maker in the thirties and forties; even earlier in the silent period. You have to be careful to this movie because it saves some surprises, very unexpected even now in 2023. The ending in particular. The relationship between this man and the kid is moving and rare for this kind of film from Poverty Row. One more example that a B movie can really bring surprise, you just have to be lucky to catch it. I hope you'll be as lucky as me who purchased it, because it is not available on You tube.
