Great to find other Bowery Boys fans!
I've recorded all TCM broadcasts of the BB movies (although I fouled up on
Let's Go Navy
, which, I'm hoping, will be shown again in another BB marathon next year). Unlike other childhood pleasures that disinterest or disappoint me now that I'm an adult, The Bowery Boys comedies still entertain and delight me. I have genuinely enjoyed all of the movies that have been shown. Thank you, TCM, for enabling me to once again be tickled by the slapstick antics and madcap misadventures of Slip, Sach, the various and varying other Bowery Boys, and their senior member, Louie. Being "reunited" with the gang transported me back to the early 1960s when I was introduced to them. While watching the scene in
. . . Meet the Monsters
, where Slip, hanging atop a very tall door, gets bonked on the head by a microphone and goes cross-eyed
, I had a "sense memory" flashback:
that
was the scene that was always shown in the preview whenever the movie aired on KHJ-TV, Channel 9, in Los Angeles. I hadn't seen it for over 45 years, and in that one instant, I became eight years old. For one brief moment, I was "home again," Thomas Wolfe to the contrary.
Regarding
Angels in Disguise
, its tone was definitely more grim than the other BB movies. Notice that it even
started
differently from previous entries. In my opinion,
Angels in Disguise
would not be out of place in a
film noir
festival; it's definitely a hard-boiled
comedie noir
that could be bundled with other, similar hybrid spoofs as
My Favorite Brunette
and
Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid
.
I know it's a "pie in the sky" wish, but I would love to see TCM append its BB series with the notorious stinkers
The Phynx
and
Second Fiddle to a Steel Guitar
, both of which featured Gorcey and Hall. A clip of the forty-something comedy duo on
YouTube
reveals that Gorcey was able to shed the weight he'd put on during his Bowery Boys years.
See you at the
Bowery Bijou
.
