After director Philip Kaufman’s credit, The Bronx 1963, Joey (John Friedrich) hopes to stop fellow Wanderer Turkey (Alan Rosenberg) from joining the Fordham Baldies (a real street gang of the day), and we meet PeeWee (Linda Manz), Terror (Erland van Lidth), Toni Kalem as Despie beneath Ken Wahl as Richie, and Jim Youngs as Buddy, in The Wanderers, 1979.
