Bowery Blitzkrieg

Despite the title, this is an East Side Kids picture, not the Bowery Boys, and bears the once-in-a-lifetime credit "Introducing Huntz Hall". Since it was made before America entered the war, why it has 'Blitzkrieg' in the title is anybody's guess. Whenever a doctor in an old movie gravely announces "he's lost a lot of blood", you know that one of the cast will have to do the decent thing and offer to personally make up the shortfall. Leo Gorcey as Muggs McGinnis duly obliges, despite being due to immediately fight in a boxing tournament; in which he energetically participates with no visible mark on either of his arms, let alone a sticking plaster or a bandage. Where did they stick the needle?

At this point, leo gorcey was still known as "muggs". He and the gang are playing pool. When monk (bob stone) starts rumors that muggs is talking dish about danny's sister, danny picks a fight. Now the coppers are involved, and muggs is locked up, and off to reform school. Monk is so slimey, and is clearly no good; when he talks, you can just feel the lies falling out as he speaks. Can muggs get himself out of this mess before it goes too far? His family and friends are trying to help, but he can't seem to stop finding trouble. This one is okay... doesn't have the fun word play that gorcey would be known for. Directed by wally fox. This was the first of nine east side kids films in the 1940s that he directed. A little ironic that the film was called blitzkrieg, filmed just a few months before pearl harbor. According to wikipedia dot org, the term had appeared in a german periodical, but was used mostly by the western media.

Leo Gorcey has a chance to redeem himself if he doesn't throw a fight. This was Huntz Hall's first time in an East Side Kids flick and he has quite a goofily amusing presence so it's not surprising that he and Leo eventually took over the series and made them actual comedies when the team became the Bowery Boys. Keye Luke-Charlie Chan's No. 1 son-plays a pool hall worker named Clancy. Charlotte Henry (L & H version of Babes in Toyland, 1933 live-action version of Alice in Wonderland) is the lady who's involved in the cop who's trying to reform Gorcey. Oh, and Pat Costello-yes, Lou's brother-has an amusing scene with Hall as a boxing trainer. I really liked this entry in the ESK series so on that note, Bowery Blitzkrieg is worth a look for fans of the people I just mentioned.

By the humble standards of the Bowery Boys, this one is not bad at all. In fact, it's more a straight crime entry than a comedy, although it does have its amusing moments. No doubt, the input of screenwriter Carl Foreman has a great deal to do with the movie's success, although the players themselves led by Leo Gorcey (more believable than usual) and Huntz Hall (far more restrained than usual), plus the two Bobbies (Bobby Jordan as the good kid and Bobby Stone as the two-bit crook) also contribute. Charlotte Henry and Keye Luke are also on hand and whilst there are a few hasty set-ups here and there, by the extremely humble standards of a Sam Katzman production, this entry is reasonably entertaining and can be viewed right here at IMDb.

The public domain prints suck. Bad print. Sound is horrible. But these comedies were fun. The Plot East Side Kids: Fighters Danny Breslin and Muggs McGinnis, once boyhood chums, have drifted apart. Policeman Tom Brady - because his own former friend fell into a life of crime and got the electric chair - takes rough and tumble Muggs under his wing to turn the lad's life around, but Danny, brother of Mary Breslin (whom Tom plans to marry), is also at risk. Everyone believes studious Danny is on his way to being president someday, but while Tom's focus goes toward putting Muggs on the straight and narrow, ambitious petty criminal Monk Martin's been working slyly on steering Danny into a life of crime. Adding a little complication, racketeers get involved, trying to set up a fixed fight with Muggs.

I enjoyed this lightweight pre-war drama/comedy. In those days I guess life was simple. Tough Irish kids had golden hearts if you could just get them a mentor in the police department. Fighting showed character. There were good guys and bad guys. Loyalties ran strong. Not much a good right/left combo would not solve. But, you know, this movie was fun. It all fell together. There were moments of drama. There was some humor. Muggsy, the anti-hero turned hero was a likable kid. The lines were snappy. The exposition brisk. So, hey, watch this movie with your young kids. See the gang at the pool hall. Learn about bad guys trying to fix fights. Learn about loyalties to the family, to the gang, and to the police force. See Muggsy take on all comers, from the college-bound kid, to the police, to organized crime, to the reform school.

This East Side Kids melodrama introduces Huntz Hall, one of the original Dead End boys, to this series, and quaintly casts Keye Luke, Charlie Chan's "Number One Son" as a pool hall manager (named Clancy!), but each performer plays only a small role in this story of Muggs McGinnis (Leo Gorcey) and his gang. Released before the U.S. entry into WWII (ergo the Teutonic title), the film is devoid of the customary wartime propaganda that the series featured, but it is also shorn of the snappy ad libbing that caught the Gotham flavour of most of these affairs, and we must settle for a rapidly moving but largely uninvolving account of Muggs' decision to go straight amidst the usual background of the fight game and gangsters.
