Little Tough Guy (Universal) clucks its tongue sympathetically over the bitterness of a boy whose father has been convicted of murder for killing a man while helping a picket line repulse an assault by strikebreakers. But hopelessly quartered and drawn by the tugging of four wayward plot trends, it is less notable as a contribution to cinema than it is for expressing a viewpoint cinema has seldom before ventured--that there is something wrong about strikebreaking.
I'll Give a Million (Twentieth Century-Fox). When word gets around the Riviera that a millionaire in tramp's clothing has 1,000,000 francs to bestow for one kind deed, a wave of benevolence envelops every mudlark and ragamuffin in the South of France. But to the real millionaire (Warner Baxter) a pretty circus performer (Marjorie Weaver) is most kind, and nobody doubts who is to get the million. Result: a comic-opera Riviera, almost but not quite a lively, amusing farce.
Cowboy from Brooklyn (Warner Bros.) plots with hypnotism and not a little good fun the course of a crooner (Dick Powell) for whom a bright future beckons in cinema horse opera if only he can learn to love horses.
