ANGELS' ALLEY was quite a change of pace, a real throwback to the "East Side" days, in terms of plot, pacing and overall tone. Monster Kids could enjoy the future Captain Lucas of the Black Lagoon, and the Devil Bat's Daughter herself. Even Mary Gordon was back again as Slip's mom. Leo got to demonstrate a bit more pathos than usual, while Huntz showed off his considerable knack for doing impressions, including a Dead On Cagney inspired by the Dead End days.

All in all, mighty satisfying.
