SPY CHASERS-1955-In this dumb Bowery Boys outing we learn that little Louie Dumbrowsy (Bernard Gorcey who once again steals the show) is actually from a (fictitious) European country called Truania. The king (Sig Ruman) entrusts a special coin to Louie, who hides it in a candy bar that Sach (Huntz Hall) promptly gives to a little girl (Linda Bennett who was in THE CREATURE WITH THE ATOM BRAIN the same year). To add to their problems they run afoul of the evil Col. Baxis (Leon Askin) and Lady Zelda (Veola Vonn; also in PARIS PLAYBOYS with the gang) who hypnotize Sach. Slip (Leo Gorcey) is around to set things straight and so are Chuck (David Gorcey) and Butch (Bennie Bartlett).
It's very weak in the laughs department and even features an unfunny take off on Abbott & Costello's drill routine.
Lisa Davis is a princess and Mel Welles and Paul Burke have un-billed roles. It was written by Jerome Gottler and Bert Lawrence and directed by Edward Bernds.
Thanks for reading!
