Movie Reviews of Dead End Kids: Little Tough Guy
Movie Review: Huntz Hall is a "tough guy" & gang leader in this one !
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first entry for the Dead End Kids & Little Tough Guys series for Universal from 1938. Made between "Crime School" & "Angels With Dirty Faces", this series also overlapped the popular East Side Kids series. Their last entry for Universal was "Keep Em Slugging" in 1943 with Bobby Jordan replacing Billy Halop as the gang leader, Halop had enlisted in the service. I really liked "Little Tough Guy" mainly for the novelty & interest in seeing Huntz Hall play a real tough guy & gang leader instead of playing his usual "dumb bell" clown role. I just wish he would've done it more often because he was good at it. Although he was quite dramatic & serious in the 3 serials.
I have the entire Universal Little Tough Guys box set & I'm still going thru it & I've seen "Call A Messenger" (1939) to "Hit The Road" (1941) & there's still a half a dozen more to watch. If you want this series you can order it by emailing <eggcream@earthlink.net>. So far I like these films & it's probably the most rarest & least remembered series but it's still good & entertaining. Some of the films feature all the original Dead End Kids, all except Leo Gorcey. It's too bad Leo Gorcey wasn't in any of these films because I think it would've worked even better than it did. In the original Dead End Kids I enjoyed the confrontations between Leo Gorcey & Billy Halop. It's too bad they couldn't work together anymore after Warner Bros dropped them.
