A more appropriate title might have been, The Mayor of Heck...these kids are too young to be really hellish. Another movie in the 'bad boys are bad because they are treated badly' genre, and not a very good one. Cagney throws over his mob ties and finds true love in the course of changing the boys' lives for the better.

Not much to recommend this except the fact that Cagney is in it, he's about the only good thing here.
