CITY ACROSS THE RIVER

1949.....90 minutes

Stephen McNally, Thelma Ritter, Luis Van Rooten, Anthony (Tony) Curtis

Set in the slums of Brooklyn, this crime noir drama follows the exploits of the Amboy Dukes, a teenaged street gang. Foremost among the Dukes is Frank Cusack (Peter Fernandez), who loses all opportunity to escape his grim existence when he accidentally kills his high-school teacher. The film tries to demonstrate that the so-called "code of the streets"--never rat on a pal--is possibly more destructive than any brass knuckle or switchblade.
