Movie Reviews of East Side Kids - Kid Dynamite
Movie Review: Oddly Entertaining Mixture of Low Comedy and Patriotism
Summary: 3 Stars
By the time the Second World War had started, Leo Gorcey had already made a name for himself as the tough East Side thug, who along with Huntz Hall, Billy Hallop and Gabriel Dell proved to be pleasant diversions from the lingering aftereffects of the Depression. When the paying audience saw Gorcey as Mugs McGinnis they knew that they would view some pretty funny ad libbing and mangling of English. In KID DYNAMITE, Gorcey continues this trend but to a new purpose. The first half is your routine East Side Kid adventure with Gorcey being kidnapped so Billy Hallop could fight in his place and win a boxing match. Gorcey gets to shine in a vastly amusing dance contest with Huntz Hall also showing his hoofer abilities. But the real star is the United States Army which is praised in ways that sound mind numbing when compared to how the military is depicted today as vicious, hateful, and murderous. In the innocent 40s, the military was glorified to the extent that even the low browed East Side Kids could find redemption merely by wearing the uniform. THE DYNAMITE KID is a period piece that shows that innocence is a trait that need never go out of style no matter what garbage Brian DePalma might put out in REDACTED.
