Wild Boys of the Road on Iowa theater program
Review notes the film Wild Boys of the Road portrays two runaways and a societal issue of youth homelessness during the Depression. The plot carries a social message but the reviewer finds it melodramatic and weakly woven, with the main value in sparking thought about future risks. Also shown are Tis Spring with Hugh Herbert and Frank Albertson, an educational Samoan film, a cartoon, and Pathe news.
