The Hoodlum (1951) LAWRENCE TIERNEY 

Literally paused at that part to give her some serious applause for that final scene

She was perfect for this role. I thought Rosa was so young compared to the brothers. I checked and found she passed away 1 month ago just short of her 92nd B/D. She was 23 in this movie, looked more like 15 to me I had to check. Good movie, interesting stories behind the story.

Then re-watch the beginning after watching the end.

Lawrence plays a good guy in 1947s san Quentin. A very entertaining b film. Barton maclane plays the heavy .

He had quite the screen presence, watch him in "Born To Kill" which is an adaptation of the book "Deadlier Than The Male" which was written by a 21-year-old kid in 1943. Tierney was just coming off of "Dillinger" and was a popular box office draw. But the movie was ahead of its time, and due to the production code had to be "toned down", the production code was censorship, that said "Born To Kill" still would've been shocking to audiences in 47, and not because of the limited violence, but just the subject matter. As a spoiler alert, at the end of "Born To Kill," Lawernce Tierney shoots Claire Trevor through her bathroom door before being shot in a hail of lead from the cops. Clair Trevor is led out of the bathroom holding her stomach where she had been shot, as "The End" spreads across the screen. However, in the book "Deadlier Than The Male" Claire Trevor's character is actually more deadly than Tierney's character. In the book, she survives and hits on the EMT who is transporting her to the hospital.......but you couldn't show that in 47, in fact by the production code, Trevor would pay for her crime it was up to the individual viewers to decide if she lived and went to the gas chamber, or if she dies on the way to the hospital, but the code stressed, crime doesn't pay.

Long live Lawrence Tierney!

the last was extraordinary !

The last speech, Ma looks like Reagan from the Excorcist😆

Then re-watch the beginning.

Thanks for watching! May the Sauce be with you.

Reminds me of Esau: Hebrews 12:17 "For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with TEARS." And also many other verses from passages warnings: Matthew 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be WEEPING and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be WEEPING and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be WEEPING and gnashing of teeth.

John Raymond ...He was rude to the crew, they asked him not to return,,, lol He was so good in this wow

I was told he could have had a recurring role but he STOLE SOMETHING From the set and that was the end as Elaine's father

jaja...the dog should have been removed when he was a teenager.

Thanks for this info.

+isotope feeney I mean, he spent his childhood in jail . . . how happy could THAT have been?

No need to, as they were brothers, Brady was born Gerard Kenneth Tierney. Their younger, lesser known, brother Edward plays Johnny Lubeck in this film.

You said it, "The years of our life are seventy..." He just wasn't very accurate in his reference to Scriptures. I don't think he studied the Bible much.
