To self. Hollywood hokum and family fun movie. "Little Nellie Kelly" is the film(1940). This film more contemporary than Gangs does show the vibrancy of the Irish,and their little family troubles. Does Garland ever belt out, It's a great day for the Irish!

Jacob Riis, spelling is right, chronicled life in New York of the 1890's some thirty years after the draft riots. Gangs should be seen, be prepared though for a lot of violence etc.
