Biography with fictional touches of a priest who set up a town for abandoned boys. He has a liberal way of running the place. The endless financial problems never discourage him. A particularly problematic teenager becomes a kind of a test for his motto that there is no such thing as a bad boy.
The kind of edifying story which Hollywood made very entertaining as well. I am not sure one could really make a reliable assessment about Boys Town from the film. The principle seems OK; I guess the details should be sought in other venues.
