Angels with Dirty Faces
“The saga of America’s dirty faced kids... and the breaks that life won’t give them!”
CrimeDrama
Childhood chums Rocky Sullivan and Jerry Connelly grow up on opposite sides of the fence: Rocky matures into a prominent gangster, while Jerry becomes a priest, tending to the needs of his old tenement neighborhood.
VIBE
A stark, morally complex tale of two paths diverged. It's a gritty, atmospheric look at urban decay and the enduring pull of the streets, even for those who try to escape them. Expect a somber, tense experience.
