About this product

Product Information

New York City; the depression. The terraces of the great new apartments of the rich look down into the windows of the tenement poor. A gang of teenagers amuse themselves diving in the river and taunting the son of a rich family. Dave (Joel McCrea) helps Drina (Sylvia Sidney) as she looks after her bother, Tommy (Billy Halop), who is one of the gang. Gangster Baby Face Martin (Humphry Bogart) returns to his old home--but is rejected by his mother (Marjorie Main). Then Martin hatches a plan to make his visit worthwhile.Like the play it is based on, DEAD END is dominated by its tenement set. Director William Wyler and director of photography Gregg Toland emphasize the contrast between the rich family and the poor tenement dwellers. Although scriptwriter Lillian Hellman had to soften Sidney Kingsley's play, the movie's criticism of the social order is still trenchant. DEAD END is notable for its period detail--Dave rests his arms on a pillow while entertaining himself looking out his window; a policeman beats his baton on the sidewalk to call for help. And it contains a vivid vignette from Claire Trevor as Francey, the girl Martin left behind.

  • debut of my fave gang of kabloonas from my old neck of the woods!!!

    lifelong dead end kids/eastside/bowery boys fan!!! i just wish someone would release the universal films they did, box set or separately. i understand they are in the public domain now, and poor copies are around, but a pristine restored set would be a dream!!!

  • Crime Is A Dead End Street

    If you love classic, B&W, Hollywood movies you will love this one. It's got some big name stars plus the Dead End Kids. It's a crime-doesn't-pay, morality tale but it's done very well. The old stars really shine in this one.

  • Great Classic!~

    This is a great classic movie from 1938 with Humphrey Bogart as an ex gangster returning to the neighborhood where he grew up...the slums of New York. This movie introduces the "Dead End Kids" in their first movie. These kids became the "East Side Kids" and eventually the "Bowery Boys". Very entertaining movie that stands the test of time!
