Plot straight from Boys Town

A quick look on Wikipedia tells the real story of the Police Athletic League and how it was founded. For one thing it was founded over 20 years earlier before this film Juvenile Court came out.

Juvenile Court is yet another of the films that Harry Cohn was using to build up Rita Hayworth. In this film Rita is the sister of notorious public enemy John Tyrell and they have a younger brother Frankie Darro who looks like he's going to go the same route as big brother. In fact the film opens with the cops capturing Tyrell in a shootout.

Tyrell is found guilty even after an eloquent plea by his public defender lawyer Paul Kelly. Both Darro and Hayworth vent on Kelly, but after a while Hayworth warms up to him a bit especially after his idea of the Police Athletic League with the police sponsoring youth activities for the slum kids.

Darro is one tough nut to crack however and he and a few friends nearly wreck the PAL before it gets off the ground.

The plot if anyone noticed is taken straight from Boys Town. It also has a generous helping of Dead End kid attitude from Darro and his friends. Still it certainly didn't hurt Rita Hayworth's career to be associated with Juvenile Court. At the end there is a quasi judicial juvenile court of sorts.
