Customer Reviews of Zombies on Broadway
Do Do That Voodoo That You Do So Well Paramont had Bing Crosby and Bob Hope; Universal had Abbott and Costello. RKO responded with Alan Carney and Wally Brown--and although they never challenged Crosby and Hope or Abbott and Costello, they were popular enough to justify a dozen or so "B" pictures during the mid-1940s. The best of these is ZOMBIES ON BROADWAY, a weird little parody similar to Crosby and Hope's ghost-busting flicks and Abbott and Costello's meetings with every classic monster from Dracula to the Werewolf.
What makes ZOMBIES ON BROADWAY fun is the absolute absurdity of its plot. Carney and Brown are publicity agents hired by gangster Sheldon Leonard to promote a nightclub called "The Zombie Hut"--and much against their will find themselves sent to the island of San Sebastiane with instructions to bring back a real Zombie for the club's opening. Once on the island, they encounter none other than Bela Lugosi, who can still do that voodoo that he did so well in such 1930s classics as WHITE ZOMBIE. This isn't a classic by any stretch of the imagination, and it certainly won't make any critic's short list--but it is just strange and weird enough to hold your attention through its fairly short running time. The entire cast plays very broadly, and the script is about as subtle as a wrecking ball, but its all in good fun. Recommended as ultra-light entertainment.
Zombies on Broadway Not one of Lugosi's Best
This movie is a strange little video featuring Alan Carney, Wally Brown and the "star", Bela Lugosi. The plot is 2 public relations men, Carney and Brown, are promoting a former gangster's (ably played by Sheldon Leonard)new nightclub "The Zombie Hut" They advertise that a real zombie will be at the opening. The gangster sends the two daffy guys to the island of San Sebastian to find a "real" zombie for the opening. Bela Lugosi plays the mad scientist who creates zombies on the island. The plot is pretty predictable as the two PR guys get into one misadventure after another in the land of voodoo. Lugosi has become a caricature of himself by the time this movie was released in 1944. Not the worst movie ever made, but for die hard Lugosi fans only.
