The underrated William A. Wellman made many neglected classics during the Depression, and this 1933 feature is one of the very best.

Wild Boys of the Road... is disappointing, primarily because it might have been so much more than it is.

RTCommercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)Feb 17, 2011

The film -- as propulsive as a locomotive -- is sympathetic to the plight of the young, the unemployed, the female and the ethnic (the 'boys republic' is open to black and Jewish youngsters).
