Editorial Reviews

The East Side Kids, the continuation of the extremely popular Dead End Kids, were a gang of New York youths who played wannabe tough guys getting into trouble. One of their best films, Clancy Street Boys takes the Kids in a different direction: they must all pretend to be part of an oversized family! Leo Gorcey is their leader, Muggs McGinnis, and his mother needs to fool her brother into believing she has seven children to keep receiving financial aid. Gorcey enlists his gang to front as the children, with the lone African American kid claiming to be adopted and another young man playing a little girl! The absurd situations, as well as Gorcey's patented use of malapropism, make Clancy Street Boys a hilarious adventure with the East Side Kids.
