Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzIt's a West Side Story without the romance and music.
Film Freak Central - 5/10 by Walter Chawquaint to the point of incoherence and inconsequence
User Review - 8/10 by Tom HA great piece on no good gang kids in the streets of Harlem. Another unappreciated Frankenheimer classic.
User Review - 8/10 by Harim Kgood drama first pairing of 7 with director & lancaster
User Review - 6/10 by Randy THollywood depiction of juvenile delinquency in the tradition of Blackboard Jungle and West Side Story. Dramatic and entertaining but decidedly unrealistic.
User Review - 6/10 by Art Sthe first pairing but not the last of burt lancaster and director john frankenheimer
User Review - 6/10 by Daniel DFrankenhiemers' early film, The Young Savages, is a film I found underrated. The film opens with a gang, that look like they're straight out of West Side Story, attacking a young blind boy. A conservative prosecutor is assigned to the case, who has a closer connection than what meets the eye. What I found fascinating about this film, which was released in 1961, is how out dated it was. How is this a good thing? The film brought me back into the world of the 1960s, the traditionalism, the things that would be brushed off now were scandals in this town. I'm not a golden age person, but I did feel that I went into a time machine. The film doesn't only focus on the case, but the racial tensions surrounding it. Burt Lancaster stars in this film, and had a solid performances. The savages depicted weren't great actors, but they passed. The film did have scenes that I felt were dispensable , like the train and elevator scenes, which don't contribute to the story. I was hooked on the story line though, and despite the cheesiness, I was paying full attention to the faith of the boys.
User Review - 6/10 by Pavan RSolid drama of racial tension and prejudice well directed by Frankenheimer and acted with feeling by the cast. Lancaster is earnest but he is put somewhat in the shade by Shelley Winters in a strong supporting performance full of sad resignation and vulnerablity, when she was on her game as she is here and reigned in her inner ham they were very few actresses as good at presenting the human condition. Edward Andrews is very good as usual in a small part as an ambitious politico, another underrated and unfortunately obscure actor who was always good whether in drama or comedy. As a study on the effects of poverty on people it is sadly still a timely story.
User Review - 4/10 by Mark SA clunky and cliched take on urban juvenile delinquency, Burt Lancaster gives an earnest enough performance in the central role as an ambitious assistant DA, but the film struggles to get out of second gear and doesn't feel very authentic.
