Huntz Hall can suddenly sing!
This is the 20th film in the Bowery Boys film series. It began with the first film DEAD END (1937) when they were so young as The Dead End Kids and later The East Side Kids. As the Bowery Boys, they did in additional 48 films for this series 1946-1958. For this review, I will also include the age of the main Bowery Boys cast, Leo Gorcey 35, Huntz Hall 30, Gabriel Dell 31, Billy benedict 33 and David Gorcey 29. Huntz was in the hospital for a simple tonsillectomy. Bernard Gorcey (Leo & David's father) as "Louie" is having a fit because it's up to him to pay the outrageous hospital bill. So the gang must find a way to help Louie with the bill. Leo is angry that the radio is on. He needs to think. When they realize the radio was not plugged in, they look over at Huntz who miraculously is singing like Bing Crosby or Frank Sinatra. With the help of Gabriel Dell, they decide to make some money with Huntz'es new "voice" singing in nightclubs. It is the voice of John Lorenz you hear singing. The next two films in the series are Bowery Battalion (1951) AND GHOST CHASERS (1951).

"Opening Tonite - The Bowery Thrush!"
This has to be my all-time favorite Bowery Boys movie. It's pretty funny. After having his tonsils removed, Satch (Huntz Hall) finds he has acquired the singing voice of a Bing Crosby. Soon the "Bowery Thrush" is the talk of the town and Louie's soda shop has been turned into a swank nightclub threatening the business of the high-class joint across the street. A femme fatale manages to con Satch into missing a performance and signing with the rival club. The "Boys" attempts to put on a show in the absence of Satch are a riot. Louie starts to go broke but just in time the fraudulent behaviour of the rival club is exposed and Satch comes back to Louie's place only to foul it up but good. I wont tell you how they get him back or how he messes up because I don't want to [ruin] the whole movie for you. It's definately worth a look, especially for fans of the "Boys."

Thoroughly light and enjoyable.
Wonderful movie. Full of Bowery Boys adventure and mishap. Huntz Hall and Leo Gorcey were a great team bringing laughter, comedy and outrageously unlikely situations to always happy endings. I would recommend this video to everyone as a great introduction to the Bowery Boys. My only wish would be that there would be more of this movie series offered.
