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!!!

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".

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.

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!

The truck driver Mr funny man Billy Gilbert he co-stared in many films n he was always very entertaining n funny

Loved Maggs' comment: 'you don't know how useless we are' or words to that effect. Loved these kids!!!

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.

@@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 ,,,

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

He steals the movie. Wonder if he had other movies where he was on the wrong side of the law and gets kissed!

thanks, this was one of there best...

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 totally agree I tell my friends the same I think the 50s and 60s cars where much nicer in style and better built

Great movie. Thanks for posting.

Love these thanks forsharing

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.

The days when you could get in a car on the passenger side and slide over to the driver side.

nothing like the classics..men were men and women were women and never the twain shall meet lol

Bobby Jordan’s ( Danny ) his brother in this film name is William Farley who was a great character actor

Bobby Stone played so many different parts in these.

Bobby Jordan sure was a cutie pie!

Billy Gilbert the truck driver.I watched all of them 😄

My boys

Leo Gorcey was 25 in 1942, they were far from being teenagers.

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!

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......

Sammy Morrison is the only one not list amongst the cast in the opening credits.

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!
