A 1948 Realart Re-Release Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More)

Little Tough Guy, the 1938 Harold Young teen juvenile delinquent crime thriller starring the Dead End Kids (including Robert Wilcox, Billy Halop, Huntz Hall, Gabriel Dell, Bernard Punsley, Hal E. Chester [billed as "Hally Chester"], and David Gorcey), Marjorie Main, Helen Parrish, Jackie Sear, Peggy Stewart, and Helen MacKellar. Note that The Dead End Kids started at Warner Bros. in the classic "Dead End" movie in 1937 (which starred the original kids from the Broadway play that opened in 1935). In 1938, Warner Bros. brought them back with Humphrey Bogart in "Crime School". Apparently, they did not have faith in this being a lasting "franchise", because Universal made a deal to also make a movie with most of the original Dead End Kids (with the exception of Leo Gorcey, but with the addition of David Gorcey, his brother), and they called their movie "Little Tough Guy". This is especially odd because Universal advertised them as being "The Dead End Kids", even though it was from a different studio, and even though Warner Bros. was in the middle of making "Angels with Dirty Faces" with James Cagney! I imagine there is more to the story, and somebody can let us know that by contacting us! Finally, note that in this movie, Huntz Hall did not play his dimwitted comic relief character, but played a tough street kid!
