Apparently inspired by the Lindbergh Baby Kidnapping
Victor McLaglen plays a nice guy anarchist kidnapper who ultimately become a trusted friend and employee of the baby's father. Nuts at the time of production but probably politically correct today in the Julian Assange--Wikileaks sense. We feel for the hysterical betrayer. What a joke. A brutal hero who casually commits mayhem and is supposed to get love for it. Did I say, Joke. The DVD transfer is just so-so.
Further Thought: Walter Connolly gives what must be one of his most likable performance and Peter Lorre one of his most chilling.
