BLUES BUSTERS (1950) ****

My favorite "Bowery Boys" (not including the dramatic turns in DEAD END or ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES). After getting his tonsils removed, Satch wakes to discover he has a beautiful singing voice (flawlessly dubbed to the real singing voice of nightclub entertainer John Lorenz). Slip and the boys decide to make a buck out of the situation by turning Louie's Sweet Shop into a nightclub.

I know the four stars are a bit of a stretch, but it's one of the more enjoyable films you'll ever see. Highly recommended.
