Crashing Las Vegas

Coming WAAAY at the end of the Bowery Boys films, this was old territory for Leo Gorcey, Huntz Hall and the gang. Not that anyone knows what "the bowery" is anymore. In this one, Miss Kelly is getting tossed out of her home for not being able to keep up with the rent. The boys win a trip for a week in Las Vegas, and the adventure begins. When they are loud and rowdy in the casino, Slip and Sach attract the attention of some rough characters. this chapter has the usual intentional, goofy word play, but also a whole lot of lowbrow, slapstick humor. A 25 year old bombshell (Mary Castle) distracts Sach. It's all pretty straight-forward. not bad. Directed by Jean Yarbrough; had directed a bunch of the Bowery Boy films. PS. Bowery comes from the dutch word for Farm, as there were many farms there at one time. later, a pretty rough area, also known as skid row. then the edge of Greenwich Village. this one only has about 260 votes so far, so must not be shown on Turner Classics very often.
