When they made the hit movie Dead End and first brought 'the boys' from Brooklyn to Hollywood it was because the whole stable of hundreds of talented juvenile actors couldn't do what Leo Gorcey, Huntz Hall, etc. did as natural as breathing. Watch the timing, the intensity and the commitment Gorcey and the rest bring to their roles in these Poverty Row 'filler' movies. Grossly under-rated actors who could bring an intensity of feeling to the most meager screenplays.
You just can't help but love Knobby when he absentmindedly gets friendly with the boys before snapping out of it. Almost as he was the inspiration of Schultz in "Hogan's Heroes".
In the movie, I noticed Collins gets in the car on the right side and slides over to the steering wheel. Now a days, people walk in the street, leave their car door wide open and proceed to slowly get in the car and grab the steering wheel. The design of cars haven't changed in over 40 years, and I for one prefer the sharp, angular designs of the 50's and 60's with long front and back seats.
I think it was their energy and intensity which made the East Side Kids unique. The NY accent didn't "hoit " none either. When it came to sarcasm you couldn't do better than Leo's delivery. Adding Huntz Hall was genius. It all worked so well.
@@sgdgsc3236 Bobby was the one with the most experience in acting. He began at age four. Maybe that's why he burned out at such an early age, too. Showbiz is a tough gig for adults much less kids.
@@Tonithenightowl yeah I hear you I did a lot of reading up on Bobby , and watched a documentary on him he was one hell of a guy,, I think he was kool people 👍
@@Tonithenightowl Yes I understand fully, after the war they weren't given him as many lead rolls as before it was all Hunts Hall and Leo Gorcey, that's when he moved on cause they won't paying him as much as before , and he had a child to raise etc.. Yeah it was sad it played out like that I personally think they should have kept him on by giving him more lead , but that's history now, I just appreciate the time he was with them and all the laughs and drama he shared with us 👍👍😁😁 P.S WITH OR WITHOUT BOBBY I THINK THE GANG DID A GREAT JOB I STILL ENJOY WATCHING THEM ,,,
Enjoy the Bowery Boys reminds me when I was a kid opening up the Hydrogen running around in the water, soft ball in the street,, and a hundred other things we would do,, you don't see kids having fun anymore all they do is get fat and have their face in a computer,,,,, LOL,,LOL
Interesting to see how often in these older films the idea of proving ones innocence is planted in the public psyche. In the USA....the law says.....innocent until proven guilty. PROVEN GUILTY ! Not the other way around as portrayed in this and many other films!
Really? hahahaha...whoa ! I did not suggest you needed to reply...nor that you should be on the web then. That all falls under free choice. No one demanded anything of you. Too Funny dude ! I mean for real ?!
Actually that was a name given to me by others. As for interaction...well....your words say much about you. Since you know me not....they say most about you and nothing of me. Sad...you can not have a simple easy interaction with another human being without the need to denigrate. Does that enable you? Make you feel better? Superior perhaps ? Well...I will concede...yep you got it over me. Wow....Impressive. Next......
There are four or five of the dead end kids buried in L.A..Leo,Jordan,Hall and sunshine,the only black,(no Offense) sunshine went into the army and when he came home the directors wanted to sign a contrac and he said no more and retire.He made a couple movies as an adult,(Ghost movie) Ghost on the lose was one of them..Alfalfa,is at the Holliwood cemetery.He was shot over 50 dollars and died.He played a few rolls with Roy Rogers and other film.he was trouble .he even was a bartender to make money..I enjoy them all.they were know as the dead end kids,,East side kids,and the Bowery boys.Alfalfa,was 31.His name was switzer
I would have loved to have smacked Bobby's tight, wet, little ass when he was getting out of the water after the cops made them come up from swimming under the docks! Yummy!
I couldn’t run no faster if the truck was full of watermelons!! Hope the SJWs don’t see this movie, there’d be cemetery riots trying to punish the racist.
Sunshine Sammy Morrison was quite the walking stereotype of an Uncle Tom black man back in early 1940's. He sure loved his chicken, pork chops, and watermelon!
Scruno has the best line. "I couldn't run no faster if this truck was full of watermelons. " Well, I'm white and I love watermelons too.
I Used To Watch The Eastside Kids When I Was A Kid They Were Great Then And Great Now
My favorite part was when the cops made them come out from swimming under the docks. Damn! That Bobby Jordan sure had a nice tight little ass!!!
The truck driver Mr funny man Billy Gilbert he co-stared in many films n he was always very entertaining n funny
The days when you could get in a car on the passenger side and slide over to the driver side.

poetcomic1 They are the best actors I have ever seen. Especially Leo Gorcey. He had talent that should have been recognised and awarded.
You can't fake a Brooklyn accent either you are from Brooklyn or you're not. Clara Bow was from Brooklyn, New York and could she act!
I totally agree with you! Great ensemble cast!

Haha: I really loved these guys:
Watched them as a kid & love then now in my late 60s...
Also, as the Dead End Kids.

I totally agree I tell my friends the same I think the 50s and 60s cars where much nicer in style and better built
nothing like the classics..men were men and women were women and never the twain shall meet lol
@Robert Gardea yes they were, many fought in the war,
Loved Maggs' comment: 'you don't know how useless we are' or words to that effect. Loved these kids!!!
👍 🎥,haha,Billy Gilbert with a Stan Laurel moment @ the cafe😆
He steals the movie. Wonder if he had other movies where he was on the wrong side of the law and gets kissed!

Having Bobby Jordan around in the first few years didn't hurt none either 👍

I couldnt run any faster if this truck was full of "watermellons". Hilarious!

Sadly, we are creating a world of teenage drones able to work long hours both at work and at home on the computer.

where are you from buddy that innocent until proven guilty only works for the rich.
I did not say it works that way...I merely stated it is how the law is written.Our Constitution ....that ever eroding set of values
Kingofgrowers how about respecting my rights! was it necessary to respond at 6:30 in the morning

Bobby Jordan’s ( Danny ) his brother in this film name is William Farley who was a great character actor
Billy Gilbert the truck driver.I watched all of them 😄
Love these thanks forsharing
Leo Gorcey was 25 in 1942, they were far from being teenagers.
And two bits was a quarter four bits was a buck for you newbies
Sammy Morrison is the only one not list amongst the cast in the opening credits.
Bobby Stone played so many different parts in these.
loved at SATIDAY MATINEES
Channel 5?
Bobby Jordan sure was a cutie pie!
Great movie. Thanks for posting.

Hector Martinez Alfalfa Switzer was one of the Little Rascals not one of the dead end kids or the East Side Kids wasn't sure if that's what she meant
Dying for $50 is like dying for $5 today what a waste of a human life and for what .... money.
@@slickmic6113 .... I think he meant he was born in Brooklyn, New York.
Bill was a little old to be going to the front line during World War II
Pee Wee real name DAVE he is n was Mugs brother n little Louie the sweatshop owner was their father
Yeah little Louie was hilarious as well ,,,,, to bad in real life he died in a car accident ,,,,
