Quotes
Ellen: Guy, you're getting hard-boiled again.
Guy: [standing at window] Well, I been in hot water long enough to get hard-boiled. Look at 'em... Boy, what a goofy world - a lot of guys bent from too much work and other guys going crooked for the lack of it.

This is the shortest "short" I have ever seen!!

This is only 6 minutes long and only interesting because it is Spencer Tracy's second film. It is all about an unemployed man trying to find food for his wife and child. Although the description says that it is a drama, I thought the ending was a bit funny. But, like I said, it is a VERY short film!!
