Johnny story

A nice perspective about attitude of American justice about juvenile crime. The rehabilitation as main interest . A probation agent as a sort of surogate father, a wise judge, the integration in family and the discover of interest who change the young deliquent in a good man.

Not different by many short educational films of period but answering to old and permanent questions about young people attitude, single mothers and their fragile autorithy and the way to integrate in society, as exemplary citizen, of a teenager.

Idealistic ? In some measure, off course. But more suignificant , useful for suggest a fair solution in a delicate case.
