Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
As usual, Long Horn has already told the storyline just above. I watched it and forgot nearly the film as soon as it was finished. So I don't wait for commenting it. It is rare, OK, but also flat, boring, talkative, unlike most of Republic Pictures movies, where there are many action sequences. The topic presents no real imaginative ideas. Nothing special, but a acceptable time waster for those like me in search of rare items.Philip Ford was a prolific film maker for Republic, as was George Blair and many other directors such likes of RG Springsteen for these tiny budget movies.I'll continue looking for them, as I do since twenty five years now.
