Reviews
" A youth problems almost to the mendacity verzeichnender optimistic film about a man (from 1930) comes up all his life in youth and scout work and for the end of his life gets the deserved rewards. Family entertainment from the Disney shop. "
" Mediocre idyll of a small American town, by the action of a Boy Scout leader from conviction. Apolitical musings on American fireplaces. Needless. "
