71 yeas ago today, on April 5, 1943 ‘My Son, The Hero’ was released by PRC. From Moviefone.com: My Son, the Hero was a rare comedy from the PRC studio mills-and rarer still, it was directed by melodrama specialist Edgar G. Ulmer. Roscoe Karns plays a third-rate fight manager misleadingly known as Big Time. Justifiably proud of his war-correspondent son Michael (Joseph Allen Jr.), Big Time tries to measure up to his son's accomplishments by writing letters to the boy, claiming to be a wealthy businessman. When Michael comes home on furlough, Big Time panics, worrying that he'll be exposed as a fraud. But he hasn't taken into consideration his golden-hearted ex-wife Gerty (Patsy Kelly) and punchdrunk prizefighter Kid Slug (Maxie Rosenbloom), who help Big Time come off as a hero in the eyes of his son. According to sources IMDb and Wikipedia, PRC never spent more than $100,000 on any production and this movie only took 6 days to film (which is unsourced and I find very hard to believe). As most PRC films are in the public domain, you can see this movie for FREE here: https://archive.org/details/MySonTheHero It's worth a watch. Review average is about 6.5/10 stars from different sites. Being a very low budget 'B Movie' studio, PRC movies were usually shown as the first film of a double bill of B movies or run with a 2nd run big studio movie.
