Hellman's engaging script, based on Kingsley's hit play, finds the neighborhood's residents struggling to get by, some choosing hard work, some taking the easier route of crime. When gangster Bogart starts to hang around his old haunts, he becomes an unwelcome influence on the street kids. Those kids became known as the "Dead End Kids" and, later, the Bowery Boys. | | | | Academy Awards®: | | | | | | Best Picture | | Nominated | | Supporting Actress | Claire Trevor | Nominated | | Cinematography | Gregg Toland | Nominated | | Art Decoration | Richard Day | Nominated | | | | Buy this movie on VHS | | | Certain product data ©1948-2002 Muze, Inc.
