Day after the opening of this knickknack by the author of Kiss and Tell, a shower of glittering adjectives ("captivating," "enchanting," "beguiling") descended on gay, winsome, 22-year-old blonde Ingenue June Lockhart (daughter of stage & screen's Gene and Kathleen Lockhart).

Story and script are by Meyer Levin; direction is by Herbert Kline (The Forgotten Village); most of the actors are amateurs. The film is the story of a European boy who gradually comes to realize that he will never again see his parents, who were killed by the Nazis.
