Featured review
All american Pat O'brien is Father Dunne, who wants to help the local city boys. Darryl Hickman is Matt, in a flashback, telling the story of newsboys, trying to make a living. Darryl was the brother of Dwayne, both very successful in hollywod. When the newsboys are sick and down on their luck, father Dunne somehow gets them a doctor and the necessary medications. somehow. it's all tongue in cheek, with god (and father Dunne) on the side of good. he finds a home, and furniture, and food... all on credit of course. but the neighbors are willing to go along for a priest. fun (older) character actor Una O'Connor as Miss ORourke. it's pretty good... all according to formula. no big surprises her, but pretty good. a feel good film from RKO. Directed by Ted Tetzlaff. nominated for Talk of the Town, six years earlier.
