| | | Brooklyn, 1965. For The Boys Of St. Basil's It's Easier To Be A Sinner Than A Saint.
Features: DVD
When 16 year old Michael Dunn arrives at Catholic school, all hell breaks loose in this hilarious coming-of-age comedy. An unforgettable romp through days of innocence and nights of discovery when boys were boys, and girls were waiting to be discovered.
Editor's Note
St. Basil, a strict Catholic school for boys, stands as a fortress against the hedonistic 1960's. But the Brothers of St. Basil have their work cut out for them with their latest batch of sex-crazed, rebellious students. Between the comic moments filled with boyish shenanigans, this film offers realistic glimpses of the vibrancy of 1965 Brooklyn and into the parochial school system.
