Sorrowful Jones
JUL 4, 1949 · 88 MIN · DIR. SIDNEY LANFIELD
A young girl is left with the notoriously cheap Sorrowful Jones as a marker for a bet. When her father doesn't return, he learns that taking care of a child interferes with his free-wheeling lifestyle. Sorrowful must also evade crooked gangsters and indulge in a bit of horse-thieving.
