The Bowery (film)
''The Bowery'' is a 1933 American Pre-Code historical film about the Lower East Side of Manhattan around the start of the 20th century directed by Raoul Walsh and starring Wallace Beery and George Raft.
==Production background==
The movie features Beery as saloon owner Chuck Connors, Raft as Steve Brodie, the first man to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge and live, Jackie Cooper as a pugnacious child, Fay Wray (in the same year as ''King Kong'') as the leading lady, and Pert Kelton (the first "Alice Kramden" on Jackie Gleason's ''The Honeymooners'') as a bawdy young dance hall singer.
The film is an absorbing presentation of the views and behaviors common at the time. The movie opens with a close-up of a saloon window featuring a sign saying "Nigger Joe's" in large letters (the name of an actual Bowery bar from the period).
Cooper's character has a habit of throwing rocks at people in Chinatown. When Beery's character berates him for doing so, Cooper's character responds, "They was just Chinks," whereupon Beery immediately softens, saying "Awww..." while affectionately mussing the boy's hair. At one point, Cooper's character breaks a window, knocking over a kerosene lamp and causing a lethal fire that spreads through the block. Frantic Chinese people trapped in the fire are shown desperately trying to escape, followed by a depiction of the ashes of their building in which they presumably died.
