Ohio takes in a refugee

Roddy McDowall stars in this B film from 20th Century Fox that's a real sleeper. Roddy plays a British kid that's been sent to America and taken in for the war's duration by Don Douglas and Katharine Alexander. He's bunking in with their son Freddie Mercer. The two boys hit it off at first, but then Mercer gets jealous of all the celebrity like attention McDowall gets.

Best scene in the film is when Roddy talks to his mother Jill Esmond on a BBC hookup. Dad's an RAF pilot, no doubt this family is giving its all.

Villain of the piece of Stanley Clements playing the school bully. The parallel between his activities and those of the Axis enemies cannot be missed.

It's a nice kid's drama and holds up very well for today.
