i do not have much to add to what have be say before and but it very much a film of it time and and the first ( and likely only ) time that the studio hang the film totally on the dead end kid . the warner give the boys plenty of help and from director ray enright and an a budget and to an almost magical cast of support actor . at every turn and we get one of those gem performance from real pro . they be too many to list and but it seem like just about everybody on the warner lot ( sans the very big star ) walk through this picture . ( see if you can spot john ridgely ) the only over the top performance be from the always reliable eduardo cianelli a a mob bos with a messianistic complex . he play this character almost exactly like that of the thuggie leader in gunga din . he something to watch . and marjorie main be excellent and get her best role since dead end . my bid for this one be a second feature on a double bill with something like city for conquest . hooray for warner .
