Son of the Navy (1940)

An American comedy drama directed by William Nigh, starring Jean Parker and James Dunn.
A sailor is walking along a road on his way to his ship and joins up with a boy who is hitchhiking. They are picked up by a woman and pretend to be father and son in order to get a ride. The boy turns out to have escaped from an orphanage and because he called the sailor his father, it gets the sailor in trouble. The sailor and the woman from the car argue over who will take care of the boy.
The plot was lame, but clearly presented. The characters stereotypical and shallow, but identifiable. Style was of the times. Pacing, continuity and editing were alright, but there were a few areas with technical problems. Overall, it was just to sappy for me, but an alright movie. I rate it o.k. Just another thing to watch because there's nothing else to do.
