Perhaps only marginally related, but can someone tell me what films the BB's made immediately after leaving the Warner Bros. "stable" ("Angels With Dirty Faces" etc.)   Did they drop the "tough guy" persona and move directly into comedy as their fill time schtick or was this a gradual transition for the boys ?

    By the way, any love for Gabe Dell, here ?  Always my favorite BB and wonderful comic beyond the series. (IMHO).  Anyone remember him on the old Steve Allen show with his spot on Bela impersonation ?
