kevin w Leo Gorcey as the head of an inner-city gang, circa early 1940's, and pretty much of a dictator. He is always in the middle of a crowd telling the others what to do. The gang don't say anything back to him. They daren't, because he doesn't like any backtalk. Only 2 speak to him: Huntz Hall as the gang's court jester, and nobody takes him seriously. And Bobby Jordan plays Gorcey's second, and that's a miserable job because Gorcey fears him, and punishes him for that. This film is about watching Jordan take huff from Gorcey ... until he decides not to anymore. It's not bad. At the end everyone joins different branches of the Armed Forces, I guess as the great equalizer or something. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Mugs, leader of his gang, thinks a fellow member Danny is trying to steal his glory and taint his reputation. Though in this film a World War Two propagandist message eventually takes over quite heavily, particularly in its final part, there is a nice message about growing up. On top of that, in the tradition of other East Side Kids films, this one is not only entertaining but also a portrayal of street life with more guts and satire on the real deal setting than most counterparts of the time. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I always enjoy the Bowery Boys/East Side Kids. Their movies are short, sweet, funny and very entertaining. The characters are well developed and fun to watch. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
