I Accuse My Parents is a 1944 American exploitation film dealing with juvenile delinquency.
Produced by PRC, the film was used to teach morals, specifically that parents should take an interest in their children's lives, as well as the consequences (both emotionally and psychologically) of child neglect.
It premiered on November 4, 1944 and was released generally on October 27, 1945.
Mild-mannered teen James "Jimmy" Wilson (Robert Lowell) appears before a judge on charges of manslaughter.
When asked to speak in his own defense, he pauses, and reflects to say; "I accuse my parents" for not giving him the home life he should have had.
The film then flashes back to a day in high school, when Jim was given an award for an essay describing the ideal home he supposedly has.
Eager to tell his parents, he goes home to a house full of empty liquor bottles, and parents distracted by arguing with each other.
Jimmy is embarrassed when his mother (Vivienne Osbourne) shows up drunk to the graduation planning committee.
Later, his father (John Miljan) gives him money instead of celebrating his birthday with him.
Jim gets a job selling shoes after school and meets torch singer Kitty Reed (Mary Beth Hughes).
He delivers a pair of shoes to her house and then meets her later at the nightclub where she works.
The two begin dating, Jim unaware that Kitty is also the moll of gangster Charles Blake (George Meeker), who specializes in fencing stolen jewelry.
Blake identifies Jimmy as sufficiently gullible and recruits him to deliver packages and messages after work and school.
Jim gets paid highly for his errands, so he never questions wha...
