nick s Fantastic shot framing throughout the film. Wyler manages to get great performances out of the actors. Just a quality production. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/05/23 Full Review Josh G Incredible use of lighting every scene is a masterpiece, ever line of dialogue is perfect and and filled monologues and devastation of life on the street in 1920's. It blew me away. Humphrey Bogart steals every scene in his limited role. This is a wonderful example of film noir and should be taught in film school over Maltese falcon and Casablanca. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/17/23 Full Review merick h Fantastic film. A pet peeve of mine is when people call classic films like this "dated". I can't think of a more idiotic statement. Obviously; it was made in 1937. If you have a specific criticism, make it. Otherwise, that comment is just lazy and annoying. It's a great film. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review steven a The contracted stage-like waterfront setting is symbolic of the social issues addressed, however cinema censorship blunted some of the more shocking elements of the original play. Moodily photographed with great use of shadow by Toland, the film still generates a brooding atmosphere, helped by expert performances from Bogart and McCrae. Also of note is Francis as Bogart's old flame who has descended into prostitution and Sidney as the concerned sister of one of the youth gang members. The Dead End Kids may seem a little too mannered today but they were memorable enough to spawn a dedicated series of B-pictures. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review SICKS6SIX seen this film a few times now and it gets better with age, and its old, someone said its dated, good, no glitz or glamour, how life was for people in the gutter, bet a lot of people crave for life back then, the simplicity and the nighbours you grew up with and know and trusted, when you knew everyone, who they were related to, what they did, where they worked, the cop with a big stick, the crooks with the big ideas, i give it a 75%, could be more but the "dead end kids" overplay to much at times. . .a young Bogart makes his appearnce, Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/15/22 Full Review Audience Member Gangsters, and dead end kids from the tenements of Manhattan, it's like a Dickens story set in New York City. The rich and the poor coexisting in a mostly rundown neighborhood. Not much plot. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
