Young Braves

"A brief account of a city gang, it is praised in the museum's program notes for capturing “the joie de vivre and the prankishness of teen‐age boys.” But since the joie de vivre comes from sniffing glue and the prankishness includes mugging adults, destroying property and knifing one teen‐ager and then running away, I must conclude that one man's happiness is another man's horror, and I stick to my own sour reading." - Roger Greenspun, New York Times review, October 19, 1971

Gangster Squad

Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen runs the show in this town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and — if he has his way — every wire bet placed west of Chicago. And he does it all with the protection of not only his own paid goons, but also the police and the politicians who are under his control. It’s enough to intimidate even the bravest, street-hardened cop… except, perhaps, for the small, secret crew of LAPD outsiders led by Sgt. John O’Mara and Jerry Wooters who come together to try to tear Cohen’s world apart.
