BOWERY BOMBSHELL 1946 (TUBI)

Director Phil Karlson cut his teeth on films like this.

To get money, Slip, Sach and the gang try to sell a car for a huge amount. They need the cash to save Louie's malt shop.

This gets them in a predicament when gangsters rob the bank the boys are in front of and Sach (Huntz Hall) is accused of the crime. Sach is then set up as a fall guy by gangster Ace Deuce (Sheldon Leonard).

The typical comedy ensues, but I have to admit the scene where Slip (Leo Gorcey) impersonates a gangster and meets Deuce and his gang is a great piece of comedy. It works well.

This was a good time waster and it's always fun to watch the Bowery Boys get into all kinds of trouble, and then get out again. The rest of the cast includes Bobby Jordan, William Benedict, David Gorcey, Teala Loring, James Burke and William "Wee Willie" Davis as well as Milton Parsons.

Nothing special, but fun.
