Dondi (1961)

An American comedy drama directed by Albert Zugsmith, starring David Janssen.
An Italian orphan is adopted by American soldiers. They accidentally smuggle him back to New York City, where he becomes lost.
This was hokey, almost defining the term. The simplistic plot and shallow characters were poorly written, based on a comic strip written between 1955 and 1986. It was in black and white, even though color film had been around for quite some time. It is also listed as one of the worst movies ever. It was definitely bad, but not worst. The scene that I thought was funny was when the American soldiers were on the ship and had already found Dondi among their luggage. The soldiers have one guy under the table where officers are eating and he uses comical methods to steal their food (image). One of the male officers is distracted by a female officer and the other female officer is supposedly too busy eating, but is staring right at the theft going on. I rate it poor. You really should not watch it.
