Saw this today, right after I viewed White Heat, I needed me another Cagney gangster fix, see? I know this will sound stupid, but I was genuinely shocked that this movie costarred Humphrey Bogart! I frequently admit to being a classic movie newbie, but even I'm embarrassed to admit I didn't know this...or that Cagney and Bogart did two other movies together! Bogart gets third billing in this one, after some guy named Pat O'Brien, I guess he hadn't yet reached his "Bogie" status just yet when this was made. Cagney is great and so is that O'Brien dude, Ann Sheridan is gorgeous. Not the ideal gangster movie that White Heat was, but still enjoyable enough. Cagney was an edgy actor for his time! Who were these Dead End Kids? They sound from the trivia like they were real hoodlums in reality, they did make a few movies though.

For really REALLY weird togetherness of Bogart and Cagney check out The Oklahoma KidDuring the Oklahoma Land Rush, the lawlessness is exacerbated by the McCord gang's feud with the Kincaids, who are trying to bring law and justice to the region. It's just FUN ! and so out of the comfort zone of everyone concerned ! Lebowskidoo 🦞The DEK's made a whole series of lesser movies together in varying combinations of who was in them . Saturday afternoon matinee fodder but enjoyable. .

The Dead End Kids are a great Hollywood story. They made multiple movies under that name then changed the name to The East Side Kids and made more movies, then changed the name to The Bowery Boys and made many more movies. Over the years they had many different members but Huntz Hall and Leo Gorcey remained almost to the end in the late 1950's. They evolved into a classic comedy team.

Surviving Dead End Kids appeared on a short-lived game show called About Faces in the early 1960s as guest stars:

I've heard of those other "Kids" but had no idea they were all the same! Thanks for the movie history lesson, taylorfirst1!

The Dead End Kids were a rowdy bunch on the set of the movie. They terrorized the set and irritated the cast and crew. They bullied Bogart (not nearly as tough in real life as the characters he played onscreen) and on one occasion stole and ran off with his pants.
They clowned around during filming and liked to ad-lib. When Cagney warned them not to try this in any one of his scenes, Leo Gorcey, being the punk he was, decided he didn't have to listen to him. In a scene with Cagney, he made an unscripted retort to Cagney's line, and Jimmy (who WAS pretty tough in real life) promptly "rapped him in the snoot." Gorcey and the others never fooled around with Cagney after that.
