It's a Small World

Things are looking up for Harry (Paul Dale) in the big city, stopping by his room on a break from his lucrative shoeshine gig, finding a thug (Steve Brodie) abusing Buttons (Lorraine Miller), who notes his picture of his not-girlfriend, in William Castle's It's A Small World, 1950.

Interesting bit of craft here, as troubled little person Harry (Paul Dale) makes a friend (Lora Lee Michel) who quickly grows up to be Margaret Field who, to his regret, remains only a friend, in director William Castle's It's A Small World, 1950.

Director William Castle's efficient opening, introducing Paul Dale as the hero, small Harry, Will Geer his dad, Jacqui Snyder the sister and Harry Harvey the doctor, in It's A Small World, 1950.
