William Wellman looks at the hobo lifestyle...
“Beggars of Life” is a drama of hobo life. Jim (Richard Arlen), a wanderer, comes upon young Nancy (Louise Brooks), who has just killed her guardian who was trying to rape her. Disguised as a boy, she takes off with Jim and rides the rails to a hobo camp led by Arkansas Snake (Robert Perry). When Oklahoma Red (Wallace Beery) takes over the camp, he begins to pursue Nancy, but before he can take her from Jim, the detectives show up to arrest her. Jim and Nancy escape, trying to make their way to Canada, but Red hasn’t given up on her.<br /><br />The film is based on the book of the same name by Jim Tully, who spent most of his teenage years in the company of hoboes. Drifting across the country as a “road kid,” he spent those years hiding in boxcars, sleeping in hobo jungles, steering clear of railroad cops, begging meals from back doors, and hanging out in public libraries. “Beggars of Life” is Tully’s autobiographical look at America’s underclass.<br /><br />Though the subject matter of the film is very dark, director William Wellman (”Wings,” “The Ox-Bow Incident”) gives it a good deal of flair with sequences filmed on a moving freight train. Though the period is the Roaring Twenties, when gin was flowing, the charleston was in vogue, and the country was enjoying post-World War I prosperity, the hobo community was hardly sharing the good times, living in the shadows, not knowing what the next day would bring, and constantly in fear of the authorities. Wellman captures that depressing atmosphere, blending it with a romantic subplot that offers optimism in a bleak series of events.<br /><br />The 1928 black & white silent film has been digitally restored from 35-mm film elements preserved by the George Eastman Museum. Bonus materials on the unrated Blu-ray release include audio commentary by actor William Wellman, Jr.; audio commentary by the founding director of the Louise Brooks Society; booklet containing a critical essay; and musical score compiled and performed by The Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra, employing selections from the original 1928 Paramount cue sheet.
