Hoodlums and Heartbreak in Old New York!
It’s gentrification 1930’s-style, as the slum-dwelling Dead End Kids find themselves living next door to a new luxury high-rise. Is Sylvia Sidney powerless to stop her kid brother from entering a life of crime? And can former slum-kid Joel McCrea save himself from gangster Humphrey Bogart, who’s returned to the place that taught him life is ruthless?
Hollywood social-message melodrama at its finest, William Wyler and Lillian Hellman’s adaptation of Sidney Kingsley’s Dead End is a masterpiece of storytelling, film technique and naked emotion. As a portrait of New York’s haves and have-nots, it’s as vital as any other movie you’ll see this year.
Host Elliott Kalan and a special guest will discuss the special qualities of urban real estate, why Bogie is still the best, and how a rough-edges street gang somehow became slapstick movie stars.
Director: William Wyler. 93 min. 1937. 35mm.
Part of the series Closely Watched Films, hosted by Elliott Kalan.
Ticket Price: $12
