Boulevard Nights is a 1979 American neo noir hood film and crime film directed by Michael Pressman.
It is about life in East Los Angeles and its street gangs. It concerns two brothers, Raymond (Richard Yniguez) and Chuco (Danny De La Paz). Raymond is 'straight' -- he has a job and is engaged to Shady (Marta DuBois) -- while Chuco is a drug user and gang member who is about to be drawn into a gang war.
It was filmed on location, mostly in East Los Angeles.[1]
