hamradio Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 "Boot Camp" - aka "Punishment" in UK" (2008)? Part of the plot story of a group of unruly teenagers whose parents send them to a rehabilitation boot camp to turn them around..... The teenagers run amok and burn down the entire campsite after learning about some deaths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's not in black and white, which the OP seemed sure about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dargo Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Aah. I THINK I've got it! Black and White. Unruly boys. Fire and destruction, RIGHT?! "Andy Hardy Goes Ape ****"! (...I knew this all sounded familiar) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceA Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I think it may be The Mayor of Hell (1933) starring James Cagney. It's about a reform school, and at the end there's a rebellion, and the kids set a barn on fire, with tragic consequences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dargo Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Ya know Lawrence, now that I think about this again, your answer probably hits the mark a little better than mine. (...and so in that case, just disregard my answer here, MadameC...it's probably wrong...and in more ways than one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Kimble Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I think it may be The Mayor of Hell (1933) starring James Cagney. It's about a reform school, and at the end there's a rebellion, and the kids set a barn on fire, with tragic consequences. Are there really "500 Juvenile Stars" in that? Have there been 500 Juvenile Stars since movies began? Has anyone here ever seen the similar This Day And Age? CB DeMille's take on unruly youth -- it's allegedly even more gonzo than Gabriel Over The White House. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, I haven't seen it, but lemme guess here, Doc. DeMille has all those unruly brats sent to some religious camp, and where they all miraculously become little angels, RIGHT?! (...BUT seein' as how we ARE talkin' ol' Cecil here, where and how does he fit his usual blatant sexual subtext into all this?...I gotta know!)

High school students get fed up with their idyllic small town being run by gangsters, so they kidnap the head gangster and hold him over a pit of live rats. (...BUT seein' as how we ARE talkin' ol' Cecil here, where and how does he fit his usual blatant sexual subtext into all this?...I gotta know!) Apparently there's a scene of a girl friend of the students "vamping" a gangster. No way DeMille would leave that out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scsu1975 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Might also be Hell's Kitchen with the Dead End Kids and Ronald Reagan. It takes place in a reform school. In the climax, the boys set fire to a barn where their sadistic "superintendent" is hiding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fedya Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 My first thought was The Mayor of Hell, too. Note that the movie was more or less remade twice, first as Crime School with Humphrey Bogart in the Cagney role, and then as Hell's Kitchen with Stanley Fields. Ronald Reagan also appears in Hell's Kitchen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamradio Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Title can be reused for a documentary. (either Hell or Detroit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
