Motion Pictures Bowery Boys “Jolopy” 1953 dirt track mayhem

Cheesy movie and acting. The cars are great.
Interesting roll bar.

 

Neat close ups on cages and seats.
I guess they turned the body around to drive it backwards

poor ole woody

Funny-I keep an old, tattered copy of Leonard Maltin's movie book (mine is over 20 years old) and leaf through it while eating lunch. Today I came to this one! Better than I pictured; some great screenshots you shared. BTW, I think he gave it 2 stars.

 

The cars get 4 - 5 stars. The actors…….maybe 1.

 

Always loved their movies even though they were cheesy. Even though it has no cars to speak of in it my favorite was Angels with dirty faces with James Cagney. I think it was their first and they were billed as The Dead End Kids.

 

Interesting, that roadster above looks to me like a 26-7 on a 32 ford frame but the wheels do not look ford to me.

 

i've heard gorcey went to pieces when his father, bernard, p***ed away. bernard played the soda shop owner. huntz hall had success as a director and i remember gabriel dell having a tv show where he owned a bar...

 

Pretty sure 1932 Chrysler had the same bolt pattern. Or was it Packard. Anyhow i had one or the other and they fitted on my 1932 Ford .

 

Looks like Ascot Race Track

 

Google says Culver City Stadium and featured unused footage from the movie “the roar of the crowd”

 

I read an article many years ago about Huntz Hall in an old publication I believe called Reminisce talked about Leo Gorcey drinking heavily after his father's death and one of his last appearance in a movie was It's a mad mad mad etc... World.
