Catholic Boys
1984, 127 minutes, Rated PG
Michael Dunn (Andrew McCarthy) has a great choice of friends. A newcomer to St Basil's, a strict Catholic boys' school in Brooklyn, he falls in with Rooney (tough and dumb), Williams (oversexed), Corbet (a born follower), and Caesar (fat and self-styled genius). This rebellious group gets caught in the crossfire between the repressive and liberal elements in the school, represented by Brother Constance, who likes picking boys up by their ears, and Brother Timothy (John Heard - The Sopranos, Pelican Brief), the world young priest with a penchant for cigarettes and drink.
Donald Sutherland plays the stern but sympathetic headmaster, Brother Thadeus, in this warm and rousing comedy about a group of boys growing up, rebelling and discovering who they are.
