Johnny Apollo, 1940 (Grade C+)

Director:  Henry Hathaway
Starring: Tyrone Powers; Dorothy Lamour; Edward Arnold, Loyd Noland

sez says: The son of a jailed Wall Street broker turns to crime  to pay for his father's release. Dad (Arnold) is a rich guy embezzler--but is also a hard working stand-up guy.  Sonny boy (Powers) is a college jock who must  come to terms with his father's downfall. This is a father and son - love ya / hate ya / love ya again story--Freud might have something to say about all of this.  But love and goodness wins out when both daddy and sons debt to society are properly paid. This has lots of twists and turns--and Dorothy aka Lucky sings and dances--and she really is 'a good girl' even if she is a gangster's love interest. GRADE C+
