  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
After Sidney (Lewis), merely a janitor, is caught up in a street fight, he's hauled off to jail with a group of hoodlums. A kindly cop (McGavin) decides to take "The Delicate Delinquent" under his wing and make something out of him, but the Police Force doesn't know what's hit it when Sidney joins the boys in blue. (Tricia Spears)

DVD Picture:
The black-and-white anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture exhibits a nicely balanced gray scale that is easy on the eyes and not too highly contrasted. Images are generally sharp, though finer details are lacking. The source element is revealing of some flecks of dirt and minor artifacts, as well as some shifts in brightness. (Suzanne Hodges)

Soundtrack:
The Dolby
