Bad Boy

They rolled the dice when they sent incorrigible juvenile delinquent Danny Lester (Audie Murphy, in his first lead performance) to the Variety Club Boys' Ranch instead of reform school...and he did his utmost to make it look like a bad gamble. The ranch's topkick (Lloyd Nolan), however, is determined to root out and understand the source of his charge's bad behavior. Effective troubled-youth tale co-stars Jane Wyatt, James Gleason, Stanley Clements. 86 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
