Quadrant Scores
Audience Representation
Racial audience withheld
Only 60% of the cast has a researched race, so these scores stay blank.
Why this is blank
A partial classification would pull origin-race scores toward the researched slice and away from the cast as it is. The nine audience scores are withheld instead of shown as zero. Zero would mean no audience, which is not what a thin cast record says.
Faithfulness
Faithfulness not applicable
Faithfulness is scored only for adaptations.
Why this is blank
An original has no source text to compare. The score is left blank rather than shown as zero.
Advocacy
Synopsis
Quality was seldom a consideration in the low-budget films of PRC Studios; still, the company was a welcome harbor for character actors who aspired to occasional leading roles. In Boss of Big Town, veteran supporting player John Litel is top-billed as crusading city market official Michael Lynn. When a criminal gang muscles in on the local food distribution markets, Lynn vows to throw the rascals out. First, however, he pretends to join the villains as a paid government stooge, the better to find out the identity of the "Mister Big" behind the distribution racket. The exposure of the "mystery villain" will come as a shock to fans of the 1927 Cecil B. DeMille epic The King of Kings--but not to dyed-in-the-wool movie buffs.
