The Bowery Boys: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

'''The Bowery Boys''' was a [[Long Runners|long-running]] series of films starring Leo Gorcey and Huntz Hall along with a company of other actors, with a complex history spanning several different names and studios throughout the [[Golden Age of Hollywood]]. As it progressed through its incarnations, the series revolved around a group of first boys and later young men who lived in various poorer neighborhoods of New York City, finally setting on the eponymous Bowery. The films in which they appeared initially varied wildly between gritty urban dramas and light comedies, but by the time they took their final form as the Bowery Boys, they had stabilized into a series of comedies about the gang and the often madcap adventures they found themselves in. Despite the moves from studio to studio and the different names under which the films were released, the core group of actors remained more or less constant.
