Tomorrow’s Youth entertains with both comedy and drama. Tackling issues not usually approached in the 1930s, the film pits a young boy between his divorcing parents. Yet throughout this drama, there are plenty of laughs, both intentional and unintentional. The young boy (who is perfectly cast as cute as can be) must spend time with each of his parent. Eventually, he gets fed up and runs away, leading to tough life lessons about misfortunate and the harshness of the real world. Since this is 1930s cinema, the results are pretty positive. However, the darker cultural perspective provided by the concerns of Tomorrow’s Youth is particularly enlightening and entertaining.
