This film was made the year that I was born. I remember watching it when I was very young; probably around age 6. I mostly remember it because it scared me. There is a young boy in the film who is injured (or sick) and ends up in an "iron lung" machine because he needs help breathing. I'd never seen such a machine, and it was disturbing to me. It was in the early 1950's, and there was a polio epidemic happening in real life.(People with polio often needed these machines to breathe.) I don't remember much else about the film, so this isn't a very good, or useful, "review". I'd simply remembered that it existed, and was amazed to find something about it on this site.
