What makes this true story so good was that Lloyd Nolan never gave up on the Audie Murphy character in this 1949 film. He kept seeking why he was unable to make headway with Murphy at the camp for wayward youth.
He comes upon an unusual story where Murphy thought that the medicine he gave his mother had actually caused her demise.
By the age of 17, the Murphy character, was a career criminal on his way to at least 20 years in jail, and on the route to a killing.
Jane Wyatt plays the sympathetic wife of Nolan and James Gleason is absolutely wonderful as Nolan's assistant who is ready to kick Murphy in the rear end.
This story of ultimate redemption was quite good. Sociologists would have a field day with it.
