★★★★★ · Effective · ERD. · 2007-04-28

An effective film, especially considering it was made in 1951. A Good script, that is well acted and directed. After seeing this film, this could elad to a good discussion about moral values and decisions.

Instead of the usual "what would you do?" singular problem that is popular among these films, the filmmaker decides to go all out and lay out something like 5 problems for us to think about. Harry (who looks screamingly like someone from the Wahlberg family) is with a pack of hoodlums when they break a couple of windows at a warehouse (Harry doesnt he chickens out). The nightwatchman thinks.. should I report him to the cops? (he does). The cops come to his front door. Should his Mom let them in? (She does) Harry is then taken to the police station, where the detective is having a conversation…

★★★★ · The boy wont talk... I'll force him to talk! · Steve Nordby · 2004-01-22

Harry is with some other boys who throw rocks and break warehouse windows. Although he didn't throw any rocks, the night watchman recognizes him. A series of decisions by the watchman, the policeman, Harry's mother, the warehouse owner, and a family friend lead to Harry's apparent agonizing over whether to rat on his friends or not. From the start, the film says it will not judge what is right or wrong, but all we get is an adult viewpoint: we hear the inner dialog of the adults, but nothing of Harry's or his friends thoughts. We are only allowed to view and make assumptions from the acting…

Look, kid, under the law you're innocent until proven guilty. No one saw anything. No witnesses? Case will be chucked out of court because of a lack of evidence. Problem solved. OK, it's not. That gang you stupidly hung out with will now force you to commit crimes because they know you won't rat on 'em. Here's what you do. Set 'em for a fall. Tell the police where your next caper will be and they'll be there to catch the kids in the act. Problem solved. OK, it's not. They'll know you set 'em up. They'll come after you. One slip and it's pine-box time. Nice knowing you, Harry. Why is some guy…
