tavm Review of 'Neath Brooklyn Bridge

'Neath Brooklyn Bridge (1942)

'Neath Brooklyn Bridge was another enjoyable East Side Kids movie

[7/10 · 1 July 2015]

In this East Side Kids flick, the gang encounter a stepfather abusing his stepdaughter as she runs from him. They chase him back and fight him, knocking him out. He ends up dead but it was at the hands of a gangster who arrived later after the kids and the girl left. There's more than that but I'll just now say that I liked the story presented here which had a nice mix of drama and some comedy which is usually provided by Huntz Hall and aided by Leo Gorcey whenever he and Hall bantered. Huntz also had a nice dance sequence with Ernie "Sunshine Sammy" Morrison in a demonstration of their expert footwork. Also on hand is Noah Beery Jr. as a former member now a sailor. Ann Gillis plays the girl Sylvia. Anyway, 'Neath Brooklyn Bridge was another enjoyable entry in the series.
