Featured review
VERY EUPHONIOUS! I THINK YOU'RE A PHONY TOO!
Charles R. Marion, who wrote innumerable Bowery Boys films (later the ADDAMS FAMILY on tv), must have been inspired by the film noir rage of the late 1940s. The net result was ANGELS IN DISGUISE, a hilarious mystery/adventure with lots of shady characters, and, of course, Leo Gorcey narrating the crazy proceedings! Here, the gang goes undercover, to avenge the death of a veteran cop and friend, getting the goods on a notorious ring of robbers. The music, the dark settings and a shoot-out! Make this one a lot of fun, add Gorcey's malaprops! Louie (Bernard Gorcey) steals the show as "Big Louie", actually carrying a violin in a violin case meant for a machine gun! Check out the slickster duds the gang wears, particularly Whitey (Billy Benedict) as they try to impress the bad guys! Edward Ryan (a former child actor) plays the short-fuse leader of the Loop Gang! Former model Jean Dean plays the alluring gun mall, later to appear in movie serials. Jean Yarbrough, who was also associated with Abbott and Costello, did a fine job of directing and you can tell everybody was having fun, especially Huntz Hall! Recommended and one of the best of the series. Warner Brothers dvd box set.
