Angels with Dirty Faces
“The saga of America’s dirty faced kids... and the breaks that life won’t give them!”
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.
