I’m not a great fan of kids in films, but hats off to the young Richie Andrusco who really holds this together amiably well. “Joey” likes to play with his elder brother “Lennie” (Richard Brewster) and his pals but they think he’s a bit of a nuisance and like to play pranks on him. When they start messing around with a gun it looks like “Joey” might have actually done for his sibling and he panics....
