...Young Don't Cry (Columbia), but Sal Mineo's lustrous brown eyes get mighty moist in this movie while he fends off all manner of ruffians, twerps and smart alecks. As a 17-year-old paragon of adolescence in a Georgia orphanage, "Big Fella" Mineo stoutly defends the "little fellas" from harm, sturdily resists the temptations and blandishments of a bevy of Bad Examples.

Because of their popularity among wealthy foreign fiddlers, there were no Strads at all available...
