The basic plot of this movie is similar to several others made in the 1950s and early 1960s, but is somewhat different in the details and the sequence of events.
The screenwriter's dialogue is generally well-written. John Carradine is one of the best actors of the 1940s and 1950s and played his role very well. Scotty Morrow does an excellent job of playing the crippled boy Ken Grant. The rest of the cast are fine as well.
There is no vulgar language or extreme violence so this movie is suitable for all ages.
Although somewhat predictable, overall the story is fairly entertaining. The film deserves a somewhat better rating.
