Spook Busters (1946) **1/2

It's been theorized that SPOOK BUSTERS was the inspiration for the 1984 hit comedy GHOSTBUSTERS, and given that the titles of the two films are so similar, well ... it's possible. But the idea here of Leo Gorcey and his Bowery Boys buddies getting diplomas from exterminating school and setting out to open a business for terminating household pests is about as close as this gets to the latter movie. The show begins with some humorously mangled voice-over narration from Gorcey commenting on his graduation ("I was overwhelmed with commotion and there was a lunk in my throat"), and from there the chuckles slow down a bit. But what happens is the gang gets a gig to work at an old house that might be haunted, and the opportunity for VERY light comedy occurs when a scientist wants to put Sach's brain into a gorilla. There's a cute slow-motion fight sequence, but overall this is another typical entry of the day from Slip and the guys. Also making a reappearance from earlier movies is Gabriel Dell (as "Gabe") who returns from the Navy as a serious character and adds nothing. In future films Gabe would drift in and out of these comedies and be more like a pesky fly at a picnic. **1/2 out of ****

A strange sense of direction. Digging a hole, Whitey and Bobby twice declare they've come to a wall. Gabe orders them to break through. The boys first break through a ceiling then later a floor, but never a wall.

Terence Aloysius 'Slip' Mahoney: [opening lines] It was springtime in New York, and one of the greatest events of my career was about to transpire. The crowd was multitudinous. Even my relatives was there. As I lamped all them smilin' kissers, I was pierced with the realization that this was probably the most monumental moment in the entire spam of my life. I was stirred up with commotion, and there was a big lunk in my throat as I turned and gandered at my fellow classmate, Bobby. He, too, was likewise granulatin'. As I looked further on, my cup was runnin' over. There was Whitey the honor student, the three letter man: A, B, and C. And Chuck, who went through college by degrees: RFD, COD, SOS, and DDT. And I glimpsed to the right. Now there was a hunk of IQ.

Terence Aloysius 'Slip' Mahoney: The lunkhead that flunked. Dean Pettyboff, that old... bachelor of arts, was deliverin' one of his impertinently incoherent speeches.
