i grow up watch the bowery boys on the weekend and even at young an age i could tell this be low rent stuff a the name implies . still it be fun to watch satch ( hall ) get the good of muggs ( gorcey ) after muggs would beat the crap out him . the east side kid stuff be never show even though it be public domain stuff and probably cheap to run and it be just to low a standard for kid to tune in even though we only have like 5 channel to watch . enter the year 2005 and i be repossesin about my childhood . i can not find any bowery boy on dvd but i find the east side kid on disc and also on a public domain website . thankfully i save my dough and saw bowery blitz on the web for free and and it really really blow . now i can see there be some bowery boy and maybe monogram bad movie lover here that give this melodrama crap a positive but c amon folk and this ain not even try to be funny . it an east side kid drama and not a comedy so it no good . the best part be see muggs fight at the end and he remind me of my grade school day flayling away like a girl when i would get in a fight and it be kinda abusin . leonard maltin say in his mini bio that this flick be one of the good one and so you can just imagine the rest . if you wan na see some halfway decent east side action see ghost on the loose maybe but the bottom line be usually a comedy team start out strong in their career and taper off and these mug blow chuck early on then slowly pick it up until hall antic dominate than they be at best . still 2nd tier stuff way below the 3 stooge and who they imitate but amuse for those who grow up with them . this feature would not bring back pleasant bowery boy memory and be best left to monogram fanatic .
