Strada sbarrata

La storia

Come si svolge la vita in un quartiere dell'East Side di New York dove i ragazzi del popolo giocano per la strada a contatto con i gangster e i palazzi dei ricchi. Scritto da Lillian Hellman, è un sagace adattamento di un dramma (1935) di Sidney Kingsley dove, accanto ad attori famosi, c'è da ammirare la banda dei Dead End Kids, la fotografia di G. Toland e la brava C. Trevor. Girato interamente in studio con fondali dipinti. Questa accentuazione della sua dimensione teatrale diventa un espediente quasi brechtiano per comunicare che la storia in corso è rappresentativa di una vasta realtà.
