Scott R @ScottR Oct 5 NYT 1000 movies list. An unusual drama showing the class struggles on the docks / row houses in NYC. How the rich can be right next to the poor and come into conflict in the big city. Although dated, it still is a well made film. Saw on Tubi. See more Isaiah Y @zayman2 Aug 12 Notable William Wyler film featuring a good early performance by Humphrey Bogart See more nick s @Nick_S 12/05/2023 Fantastic shot framing throughout the film. Wyler manages to get great performances out of the actors. Just a quality production. See more merick h @RT59327164 12/17/2022 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.

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.
