Boys of the City (1940) THE EAST SIDE KIDS

[@amc042759]

My mom was born in 1940. I loved watching The East Side Kids in the 60s and 70s. When I was little. Memories!

I really love these movies - have been watching as many of them as I can find. The gang had four different names through the years. First they were the Dead End Kids, then East Side Kids, then from 1946 to 1958 The Bowery Boys. Also an offshoot was Little Tough Guys. The best ones had Leo Gorcey. He was in 7 movies with the first gang, 21 movies with the second name and 41 Bowery Boys movies! I wish they were all on KZbin! We should have remakes of some kind today to show that kids can be good inside, even though rough on the outside.

[@vickieoglesby536]

The days before it became normal to have fans and air-conditioning everywhere? And vendors on every corner.. selling healthy fruits and vegetables.

[@tonyf.8858]

There are still fruits and vegetables on every corner in a nearby city called Seattle.

[@gibby2937]

Loved that Bobby Jordan! Would have loved to to hug him tight and reach around and grab those tight buns and give them a good squeeze!!!

By coincidence, last night I watched a 1944 movie called Ghost Crazy (AKA: Ghost Knights) which was released by Monogram in 1944. The plot was identical, and even some of the gags stolen directly from this film. None of the production team was the same. That one stars Billy Gilbert and Shemp Howard in lieu of The East Side Kids, and the story to get them on the road differs. It was interesting to see the similarities and differences, but so funny that by chance I saw both films one-night-after-the-other.

[@gibby2937]

That little Negro boy sure was scared of the spooks! I think that's where they got the name 'spooks' for Negroes.

[@gaycausesoneisparentalnegl309]

Hmm.

[@joeambrose3260]

WTF ? Where are Billy & Huntz ?

[@brucescott4261]

Joe Ambrose ...Huntz Hall and Billy Halop were in the Little Tough Guy series. The former joined the East Kids series in 1941 ("Bowery Blitzkrieg").
