[++] This is a guide for discussions on "One of the most unrelenting and bleakly desperate of American films made in the 1930s, William Wellman s Wild Boys of the Road chronicles the hard-luck life of the road of literally hundreds of thousands of teenagers boys and girls alike who were forced out into the world at large when their family life at home collapsed. Literally torn from the headlines, Wild Boys of the Road was based on a story by Daniel Ahern, Desperate Youth, which unflinchingly documented this unparalleled phenomenon, as written for the screen by Earl Baldwin.Of all the films made during the Depression, Wild Boys of the Road is perhaps the most realistic and unsparing, due in no small part to Wellman s penchant for unvarnished realism."--"Wild Boys of the Road" by Gwendolyn Audrey Foster at the LOC site on film history.
