Directed by Roy Royland, this movie (These Wilder Years) has some good actors in it (and familiar names. They are: Jimmy Cagney, Barbara Stanwyck, Walter Pidgeon, and Dean Jones.
But the show stealer is the character Suzie, played by Betty Lou Kiem.
It is like Bella, but then it is different, as Jimmy Cagney plays a very rich man, but with something in his past that he wants to find out about. That is a son that he abandoned all responsibility years ago when the pregnant came to him for help...
Barbara Stanwyck plays the heroine, but is Cagney the bad guy in this movie? He certainly tries to dish out some hard blows (punches) to people, but get clobbered in the process (figuratively).
But the twists and turns of this movie make it worth seeing...
Maybe it is a hidden classic as the liberals do not want us to know about films like this one...
