“In his first starring role, Roddy McDowall portrays an English boy named Hugh, who is sent to stay with an American family on the u0026quot;sunny sideu0026quot; of the pond in order to escape the Nazi blitz.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe initial excitement of the host familyu0026#39;s young son (Freddie Mercer, nephew Leroy in the u0026quot;Great Gildersleeveu0026quot; film series) at having a u0026quot;brotheru0026quot; to pal around with gradually gives way to resentment when the visitoru0026#39;s impeccable manners and efforts to adopt American slang charms his parents to the extent that they begin neglecting him. To make matters worse, the members of his kidsu0026#39; club vote to replace him with Hugh as their president after the latter routs a bully who has commandeered their clubhouse (Stanley Clements, GOING MY WAY) from the premises with a homemade, chemical stink bomb.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhen Hugh is decked by a flying rock from the hands of the bully, the two boys team up to settle the hash of both the bully and his goon, sending them packing. Then, once Hugh points out to his surrogate parents that theyu0026#39;ve been favoring him at the expense of their own son, all is happily resolved.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eProduced for the lower half of 1940s double bills, this movie was most definitely designed to please the kiddie trade. Since it wasnu0026#39;t filmed in color, however, getting todayu0026#39;s youth to give it a look will likely constitute a problem. I rate it two out of a possible five stars.”
