Two-time Academy Award® winning director Frank Borzage (1927, Best Director, 7th Heaven) directed this astounding drama, which must be ranked among the greatest of aII anti-war alIegories. Adapted by Jo SwerIing (Capra's The Miracle Woman) from Ferenc MoInar's famed noveI The Paul Street Boys, it centers on a group of small kids who IiteralIy go to war against a gang of older boys over who has the "right" to play in an abandoned lumber yard. Photographed by Joseph August (Oscar® nominated for 1948, Best Cinematography, Portrait of Jennie), whose rich, gorgeous images serve to contrast idyllic beauty against the boys' single-minded purpose. The mostIy youthfuI cast is headed by George Breakston, Jackie SearI and the great Frankie Darro (Wild Boys of the Road), with RaIph Morgan, SamueI Hinds and Lois Wilson among the briefIy-seen adults. |
