The Town Went Wild

A underwhelming farewell to Freddie Bartholomew's career. Made by a independent production company who got distribution through what was left of poverty row, that in itself is not a quality sign. What was a sign of quality was the supporting cast. They somehow managed to get Edward Everett Horton for this, along with Maude Eburne and several other well-liked Hollywood faces. And that was the saving grace for me. Otherwise, it was very easy to see Bartholomews appeal vanishing as he turned adult.
