Clancy Street Boys is a 1943 comedy film directed by William Beaudine and starring the East Side Kids. It is Beaudine's first film with the team; he would direct several more in the series and many in the Bowery Boys canon. Leo Gorcey married the female lead Amelita Ward. There is no mention of "Clancy Street" in the film, but a rival gang at Cherry Street appears at the beginning and climax of the film. The film features the first appearance of William Benedict with the East Side Kids. Long a juvenile player, Benedict had made several films in Universal Pictures' similar Little Tough Guys series. He would later replace Scruno as one of the gang in further films as the character "Whitey" in the Little Tough Guys series and in the later Bowery Boys series. The photo in the film of Muggs' father is Leo Gorcey's real father, Bernard, who would go on to play Louie in the Bowery Boys series. Bernard also had a small appearance in the film as a liquor store owner in his first film of the series; in the Bowery Boys series, Bernard would play a sweet shop (candy store) owner.
