Only scene I remember: A father walks into a school or Boy Scout meeting drunk...


The dad brings ice cream to the meeting, but by the time he arrives, it's all melting. His son is mortally embarrassed. I remember being heart broken for the boy and miserable for the dad for behaving so foolishly.

I feel like the dad finally turns his life around, and everything turns out ok. However, I can't recall the movie. Probably saw it 30 years ago...Feel like it was made in the 60s.

Any help? Thanks in advance!

Follow Me, Boys! (1966)
Sean McClory played the drunkard father
Kurt Russell played the boy "Whitey"

Aha. Thanks so much, Martin! Cheers!

For me the worst scene in that movie was when the drunk dad shows up driving a car, demanding to take his son with him, and the scoutmaster lets the poor kid go! They should BOTH be prosecuted for child endangerment!
