My dad grew up on Amboy Street in B'klyn during the '20s & '30s.
SNORK!! I grew up in the Sheepshead Bay and Coney Island sections of Brooklyn. We were a bunch of wimps. We thought we were really tough when we would sneak a smoke under the boardwalk. lolBurnsie said:Wow, so you were one of the "wayward youth in Brooklyn" (from the paperbacks front cover)! I was amazed by how true to the book the movie was - some pretty controversial stuff there! Have you read Cry Tough! - "Further revelations of the blazing hates and loves of "The Amboy Dukes"?

Tomasso said:"Then in 1934, Clark Gable took off his shirt in "It Happened One Night" to appear bare chested. The undershirt industry took a temporary nose dive. Before long, however, Gable had reappeared on the silver screen in a classic athletic undershirt ... and men started buying them in droves again." Vintage Skivvies
