      Steve D I continue to be embarrassed for Bogart. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/13/24 Full Review CodyZamboni Movie is watchable only for the cool, empathetic peformance by Humphrey Bogart, as he tries to redeem a bunch of reform school punks. The Dead End Kids ? They are annoying as hell, I couldn't care less about those losers. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/31/23 Full Review Russell J Bogart plays the forward thinking and compassionate warden of a reform school for boys. Pretty predictable.
