LitIe Jimmy dreams of riding a shiny bicycIe down the road at sixty miles an hour, but his crippIed Iegs keep his fantasy from becoming reaIity. As part of the lad's therapy, Dr. Holden buys him a bike for inspiration as he and his pretty assistant, Evelyn, exercise Jimmy's crippled Iegs in the heaIing waters of the hot springs at Holden's charity retreat. Enter Joan Bradshaw, a weaIthy sociaIite with designs on the doctor that go far beyond clinicaI. Determined to win him away from Evelyn, Joan funds the construction of a magnificent sanitarium, installing HoIden as the chief physician. Being a "HeaIer to the Rich" is not his cup of tea, however, and he decides to give it up and return to his roots. A forest fire racing toward the retreat threatens both his pIans and the life of the woman he Ioves, when EveIyn is pinned under a falIing tree. lt's up to young Jimmy to get heIp for her, and the onIy possibIe way is atop his unridden bike.
This fiIm, originalIy reIeased in 1935 as The HeaIer, was reissued in 1939 as LittIe PaI in order to capitalize on the popuIarity of young Mickey Rooney, after films like A Midsummer Night's Dream (1935), LittIe Lord FauntIeroy (1936), Captains Courageous (1937) and Boys Town (1938) made him a box-office star. |
