HOLD THAT HYPNOTIST!-1957-When the Bowery Boys' landlady Mrs. Kelly (Queenie Smith) decides to visit a hypnotist (Robert Foulke) so she can be regressed to a former life, Sach (Huntz Hall) and Duke (Stanley Clements) decide to investigate. They are assisted by Myron (Jimmy Hall) and Chuck (David Gorcey). Sach is regressed to a 17th century tax collector! He has to confront the pirate Blackbeard (Mel Welles) and learns of his hidden treasure. Well, sort of. When he is re-hypnotized to find out more info he becomes a Mark Anthony quoting Shakespeare! They are eventually double crossed by the hypnotist and his manager (James Flavin).
Parts are funny (especially when Sach talks with an English accent but most of the routines are "sub Abbott & Costello". Also with Jane Nigh. Usual second unit director Austin Jewell made only one other film. The credited screenwriter Dan Pepper is a pseudonym. Mel Welles was in 3 Roger Corman features the same year!
Happy Memorial Day and thanks for reading!
