LITTLE TOUGH GUYS IN SOCIETY (1938) Mischa Auer, Edward Everett Horton, Helen Parrish | Comedy | B&W
Little Tough Guys in Society is a 1938 Universal Studios film that starred several of the Dead End Kids. It was the second film that Universal made in their series and the first of three that they made without any of the original Dead End Kids.
SYNOPSIS
Under a doctor's orders, a society matron invites six ruffians to her estate as playmates for her spoiled brat son.
Mrs. Berry, a socialite, hires a psychiatrist to care for her son Randolph. He exhibits antisocial behavior and stays bedridden all day. The doctor determines that if he was exposed to other boys of a lesser social stature he will break out of his shell and resume his place in society. They contact a place in the city and hire six underprivileged kids to come out to the country to help out. The boys who arrive are not the boys who were originally hired, but a gang of misfits who are wanted for destroying a glass factory.
