Don't bother - The Mysterious Mr. Davis / The Lad review by CB
Two feeble quota quickies from the late 1930s. Gordon Harker stars in one film but he is simply the same as in any other film, a one dimensional comic character, I can't think why these films would have been revived on DVD 70 years after their appearance.
