Hot Shots

HOT SHOTS-1956-In this Bowery Boys comedy, an obnoxious TV child star Joey Munroe (Phil Phillips) causes some problems for the gang (Huntz Hall as Sach, Stanley Clements as Duke, David Gorcey as Chuck, Jimmy Murphy as Myron) but Sach and Duke wind up working at the kid's television studio where Robert Shayne (SUPERMAN's Inspector Henderson) is in charge and Joi Lansing is their secretary. Mark Dana is Joey's underhanded uncle who plots a kidnapping. Queenie Smith returns as the boys' landlady Mrs. Kelly. 


There's lots of crazy gags and dialogue that are more dumb than funny. Also with spots by Joe Kirk, Isabel Randolph, Emory Parnell, Ralph Gamble and Bess Flowers. 


This entry was directed by Jean Yarbrough which explains all the familiar faces from THE ABBOTT & COSTELLO SHOW and once again there is another connection when Sach picks up a comic book called "Terry and The Used Car Salesmen". Costello received a comic book with the same title in an A & C episode! Jack Townley and Ellwood Ullman were the writers. 


Thanks for reading!
