Synopsis

From Dead Ends to the East Side and finally landing in Louie's Sweet Shop in the heart of the Bowery (3rd and Canal, natch!), there was no stopping these Boys! When understudy Leo Gorcey joined the ensemble of teen thespians on stage for the Broadway hit "Dead End", Hollywood soon followed with William Wyler taking the troupe in toto for 1937's film version. Personifying the grit and heart of the kid gangs sprouting up in city slums, these little wise guys quickly stole the nation's heart. Ably anchored by the central pair of Huntz Hall and Leo Gorcey, the kids moved from "preachment" and crime pictures to straight up comedy as The Bowery Boys - and the rest is history as the boys capered through scores of pictures for over two decades!

        Comments about The Bowery Boys: Volume One:

        My first complaint is that they didn't have them in order of production. I guess that since their later works are not so good, maybe the company figured that people would only buy the first DVD and skip the second one. Also, these DVDs are expensive for what they are. There are no extras and they are "B" movies.

        This was a wonderful DVD set of The Bowery Boys. The films were in excellent shape considering they are over 50 years old. They are great fun. They will only work on a DVD player not on a DVD recorder.

              There's nothing else that needs to be said. I remember watching the Bowery Boys for many a year. The title pretty much brings it all in. I feel sorry for those people who just never had the same opportunity as I did. My generation is far from perfect, but given the choice between yesterday and today, I'll choose the former thank you very much

                I love this DVD. It brought back so many great memories of watching the Bowery Boys Saturday mornings with my brother when I was a kid. The quality of the film is great.

                      Literally tears of joy to have the Bowery Boys finally on DVD. Many have left this world who were waiting for these. Now new generations can enjoy these films, a refreshment to the mindless comedy we have today.
