Johnny Trouble-Ethel Makes A Man of Stu Whitman ***
5 August 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Interesting but dated film where Ethel Barrymore believes that Stuart Whitman is her grandson. Seems that Ethel's son left 27 years ago and never returned.

Cecil Kellaway steals the show in his somber tell-all tale at the end of the film. It's a heartbreak, but it is also the story of the human spirit.

How ironic that this turned out to be Ethel Barrymore's last film.

As the girlfriend, Carolyn Jones starts off as quirky as she did that same year in her Oscar nominated supporting performance in "The Bachelor Party." She really matures at the end when you want to cry for her.

This is basically a story of redemption.
