Code of the Streets

About This Movie

Code of the Streets is a 1939 drama and crime film directed by Universal Pictures. The story follows Bob Lewis, a gang leader who seeks to clear his father's name and prove the innocence of an accused murderer.

Code of the Streets has had a somewhat obscure presence in the collector community, with few prints circulating, which makes any kind of original release format quite sought after. It’s not the most widely known film from this era, but its themes resonate with collectors who appreciate the depth in character-driven stories from the late 1930s. The scarcity of material, combined with its unique approach to storytelling, adds to its appeal among those who dig deeper into the crime genre.
