These movies used to be on TV all the time when I was a kid. Nowadays they seem to be long forgotten!
They're still on TCM a lot. That's wear I've watched them all!
you beat me to saying that! Time wastey were shown practically every day, on one channel or another.
I dont know your age but I was born in 61 remember these being played a lot when I was very young. You have to remember though in 1970 how much stuff did they have to put on tv in those days? Now we are 50+ years a lot of stuff exists now so a lot of the old stuff falls thru the cracks.
Used to be a Sunday afternoon staple, along with others like; Ma n Pa Kettle, Abott n Costello, Francis the talking Mule and more! Memorable times.
BLONDIE!
Loved the Dead End Kids/East Side kids/Bowery Boys when I was a kid. They played frequently on Saturday Afternoon matinee on tv.
Yes we used to get one every other week with Blondie moves showing on the weeks they werent.
Slip and Satch were my favorites.
I recently became a fan and picked up the book, Hollywood's Made-to-order Punks. A nice history of the boys.
Dead End is such a brilliant film. The camera work is breathtaking. I can only imagine how it looked on Broadway.
Loved watching these guys in the 50s and 60s. Even though some were already 20 years old.😂😂😂
I still love watching them on TV, and would pay to see the shows in a theater
Huntz Hall is on the cover of the Beatles' Seargent Pepper Album. The Beatles also wanted to have a picture of Leo Gorcey on it but he wanted to be paid forthe use of his likeness and was left off the cover.
Yea him and Hitler were left off near the end . When they asked Mae West for her permission to appear on the album she said “ what the hell would I ever be doing in a lonely hearts club ? “ 😊
I remember watching "The Bowery Boys" and "The Little Rascals" with my grandfather at his house.
Fond memories from childhood. I still watch these films whenever they are on TCM.
Brings back great memories of watching these with my grandpa!
They were great, I've been a fan Angel with dirt faces a favorite 😁
Loved watching the Bowery Boys.
The Bowery Boys series was my first encounter with this group of actors. Every Saturday, their films would be shown on Philadelphia's channel 48 (UHF). I had no idea there were previous incarnations. It wasn't until I say 'Angels With Dirty Faces' many years later that I learned these guys went back farther in time than the fifties. I was surprised to see the main stars of The Bowery Boys, head-man Leo Gorcey (Slip) and side-kick Huntz Hall (Sach), as just a part of the gang that was actually led by Billy Halop's Soapy.
I hadn't seen any of The Bowery Boys films in years until I came across some of them on CZcams... umm, either they haven't aged well or I've aged too much!
Jeffreyslo: For me it was Saturday Morning WPIX 11 in Brooklyn, New York in th 1960's.
Huntz Hall (Dippy) "I think and I think and I think and I can't remember the name but I remember the floor but forget the number so I push all the buttons whoever she is she ain't there anyway. Huh?
(Dippy sticks his hand out expecting a tip.)
Humphrey Bogart (the gangster): "Nothing for nothing kid."
Huntz Hall (Dippy): "Fine way to treat a kid. You wouldn't do that if my big brother was here; smack you up side of your head, he would."
Sorry to put you through that but it is my favorite exchange from the play/film so I had to share.
i grew up watching these films on Wnew channel five in New York.
These and Abott and Costello really made my Sundays.
And they are funny now just as they were then.
Stanley Clements was brought in to replace Leo Gorcey in 1956, playing the role of Duke Coveleskie until the end of the Bowery Boys’ theatrical run in 1958.
I like Stanley Clements. He was great in the movie Johnny Holiday ( a film that never got enough recognition )
Yes, and the tone was lost with the loss of Gorcey. Clements' character was too straight and contrasting to Hall's Sach Jones character, who became more over-the-top and more annoying than comical.
Leo Gorcey was not in the original gang for the Broadway play; the character of "Spit" was played by a different actor.
Leo Gorcey did have a small part in the Broadway play, as one of the two boys (2nd Avenue Boys) who came to challenge the gang to a fight.
The entire cast still photo is from the Broadway play. Thank you for posting a photo of the 1935 Broadway set.
P.S. I THINK the "2nd Avenue Boys" were played by the Gorcey Brothers.
I couldn’t believe my optics , standing in front of me was a goil. It must’ve been an optical contusion! Lol😅
In early 90's i found a big book about THE DEAD END KIDS but it was very expensive too me !!! DAMMIT !!! I love juvenile delinquency movies ! A big hug from BRAZIL (SOUTH AMERICA).Go PUNK go !
Little Orphan Annie Classic Comic Strip Turned pop culture Icon
I've heard the names of the shows, and of many of the actors, but I've never seen any of them. Thank you for bringing them to my attention.
I was hoping for a little more bio about each performer.
And don't forget Sunshine Sammy!
Bernard Gorcey played Louie Dumbrowski, owner of the Boys' hang out Louie's Sweet Shop. When I was young channel 9 had Bowery Boys Theater. I watched every weekend. I still catch them on cable occasionally. They haven't held up as well as The 3 Stooges but they're OK.
Leo Gorcey’s father starred in many of the Bowery Boys films as the owner of Louie’s Sweet Shop.
It is interesting to note that the Little Tough Guys series at Universal is almost impossible to find, and the East Side Kids/Bowery Boys are concerned, almost all Monogram films made before August 1946 are owned by Amazon ( including East Side Kids series), and the post August1946 films are owned by Warner Bros. Three notable exceptions are the first three Bowery Boys Films, which Warners owns.
Interesting as I remember watching some these movies on weekends on Ch.5 (WNYW) in NY. Dad used to watch them first run, he mentioned Gorcey got in serious trouble for beating up his wife and went to jail.
You failed to mention how several of the old DEK found their ways in Hollywood. Gabriel O'Dell starred in a short lived sitcom about a bartender called The Corner Bar. Billy Halop was a character actor who would pop up here and there. You may remember him from All In The Family as Archie's boss, "Muncie" who owned the cab company Archie moonlighted for. His sister, Florence Halop was also a character actor who is probably best known for her role on Night Court as bailiff, Florence.
Leo & Huntz were also supposed to appear together on the cover of, "Sgt. Pepper" but, Leo asked for lots of money and was removed from the cover.
You can get most of the dead end kids movies and all the East side kids and Bowery boys films on dvd
Let's not forget Ernie Morrison (billed as Sunshine Sammy) as Scruno; as the only black member of the East Side Kids (1940-43).
My favorites
I ❤THE BOWERY BOYS!! THEY WERE THE ORIGINAL TEEN REBELS BEFORE IT BCAME A GENRE /REALITY IN THE LATE 50S !😮😅😊😊
You can find a list of all the Bowery Boys movies on Wikipedia
I've seen the two movies they did with Bela Lugosi
You got the names wrong, Billy was between Gabe and Bobby, Bernard was behind Billy and Gabe.
Thanks Rich.
thought I would ask before I go on the hunt for these, but do you already happen to have a list of all their movies from their start in hollywood on?
edit:I think i got them all, but would still like to compare to see if i missed any. thanks!
It is a shame that this series is all but forgotten nowadays. These films were funny and well performed who cares about a low budget?
Idk why but gabe dell reminds me of tim chalamet if tim wasn’t such a twinkie
All I can add is: ROUTINE 6!
yeah yeah sure sure
Bowery Boys were the best
Huntz Hall, Leo Gorcey -
Great as kids to watch in movies
“ Angels With DIRTY FACES ,”
So great.
I can kiiiiiiiinda see Slip = Moe, but I can’t follow you with Sach = Curley. Sach is his own thing. The only direct comparisons are Bill Cosby and Jim Varney and they were so influenced by him and came so far after that you can’t really say, “Sach is Ernest.”
Great video, though. I really like all of your stuff.
Here’s to Huntz Hall.
The series became slick between 1950 and 1954. But as with all long-running series it was wearing out and the quality of the films started to suffer. This was evident in the last seven when Leo Gorcey left and Stanley Clements was brought in as the replacement. The energy, continuity, and interest was lost due to the absence of Gorcey, and for most people the series had died by this time.
a shame bobby joardan died so young from alcohol gorcey also
The Bowery Boys movies are unwatchable.
