7 / 10 8 / 10 'Boys Town' style formula film. Predictable and somewhat self righteous. Worth watching though for the delightful Terry Kilburn who displays one of the most captivating smiles I've ever seen. Pretty routine stuff for Freddie, acting-wise, as he was an old pro by this stage. Watch for an hilariously badly shot scene inside the fakest looking bus ever.
