| Zusammenfassung: | "A gang of juvenile delinquents tear up post-war London in Cosh boy, Lewis Gilbert's energetic X-rated drama, which provides a penetrating portrait of 1950s Britain and its simmering social tensions. Roy (James Kenney) is a brash, chain-smoking thug who bullies his friends (including Rene, played by a young Joan Collins) into subservience. He and his gang assault and rob people on the street, but things get increasingly dangerous when their behaviour escalates, with tragic consequences." |
