So Victor Krulak persuaded a buddy to hit him on the head in hopes of raising a bump big enough to narrow the stature gap. That ploy failed, so-bloody but unbowed-Krulak petitioned and won the right to join the U.S. Marines as the shortest man in the corps.

There have been other movies about children. But what children! Our Gang exists somewhere west of the moon. You don't bump into Shirley Temples at the grocery store. Once, in Tiger Bay, before she freaked out as Polyanna, Hayley Mills played a child. But the movie, like Sundays and Cybele, focuses on a sexy little girl's relationship with a fugitive.
