Mr. Wise Guy (1942) THE EAST SIDE KIDS

[@garymarko409]

I Used To Watch The Eastside Kids When I Was A Kid They Were Great Then And Great Now

[@gibby2937]

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!!!

[@poetcomic1]

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.

[@lauramsampson155]

poetcomic1 They are the best actors I have ever seen. Especially Leo Gorcey. He had talent that should have been recognised and awarded.

[@gloriahanes6490]

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!

[@donnaarsenault7809]

I totally agree with you! Great ensemble cast!

[@anje93061]

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".

[@Tonithenightowl]

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.

[@sgdgsc3236]

Having Bobby Jordan around in the first few years didn't hurt none either 👍

[@Tonithenightowl]

@@sgdgsc3236 Bobby was the one with the most experience in acting. He began at age four. Maybe that's why he burned out at such an early age, too. Showbiz is a tough gig for adults much less kids.

[@sgdgsc3236]

@@Tonithenightowl yeah I hear you I did a lot of reading up on Bobby , and watched a documentary on him he was one hell of a guy,, I think he was kool people 👍

[@Tonithenightowl]

@@sgdgsc3236 I know he could make me laugh and CRY which showed his talent.:o)

[@sgdgsc3236]

@@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 ,,,

[@MandyStMarie]

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

[@dominicpiscopo7915]

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

[@Xobloot-qf2mj]

I couldnt run any faster if this truck was full of "watermellons". Hilarious!

[@gailhausmann1329]

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

[@hankterreros223]

thanks, this was one of there best...

[@waderaney7]

👍 🎥,haha,Billy Gilbert with a Stan Laurel moment @ the cafe😆

[@389383]

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

[@gloriahanes6490]

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.

[@sgdgsc3236]

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

[@DavidSmith-sb2ix]

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.

[@pattygonzales9605]

Great movie. Thanks for posting.

[@dorothyriskowitz763]

Love these thanks forsharing

[@dominicpiscopo7915]

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

[@tasteegold7772]

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

[@DavidSmith-sb2ix]

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

[@TheAGAPETUS]

Bobby Stone played so many different parts in these.

[@williamschlenger1518]

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

[@slickmic6113]

Hector Martinez Alfalfa Switzer was one of the Little Rascals not one of the dead end kids or the East Side Kids wasn't sure if that's what she meant

Dying for $50 is like dying for $5 today what a waste of a human life and for what .... money.

[@okay5045]

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

[@Kingofgrowers]

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!

[@ronwilson5906]

where are you from buddy that innocent until proven guilty only works for the rich.

[@Kingofgrowers]

I did not say it works that way...I merely stated it is how the law is written.Our Constitution ....that ever eroding set of values

[@ronwilson5906]

Kingofgrowers how about respecting my rights! was it necessary to respond at 6:30 in the morning

[@Kingofgrowers]

Really? hahahaha...whoa ! I did not suggest you needed to reply...nor that you should be on the web then. That all falls under free choice. No one demanded anything of you. Too Funny dude ! I mean for real ?!

[@Kingofgrowers]

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......

[@sgdgsc3236]

Enjoy the Bowery Boys reminds me when I was a kid opening up the Hydrogen running around in the water, soft ball in the street,, and a hundred other things we would do,, you don't see kids having fun anymore all they do is get fat and have their face in a computer,,,,, LOL,,LOL

[@gloriahanes6490]

Sadly, we are creating a world of teenage drones able to work long hours both at work and at home on the computer.

[@rickylmoe4018]

Bill was a little old to be going to the front line during World War II

[@dominicpiscopo7915]

Pee Wee real name DAVE he is n was Mugs brother n little Louie the sweatshop owner was their father

[@sgdgsc3236]

Yeah little Louie was hilarious as well ,,,,, to bad in real life he died in a car accident ,,,,

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.

[@gibby2937]

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!
