The Bowery regulars follow an intermittently clever screenplay, by Tim Ryan and Edmond Seward, which makes this one of the more enjoyable movies of the series. The Ryan/Seward writing team would reach a peak with their follow-up "Bowery Buckaroos" (October 1947). And, Ryan, a notable character actor, essays one of his bigger Bowery roles, as "Chronicle" editor John "Bullfrog" Burke. The bad guys, led by Anthony Caruso (as "Dapper" Dan Greco) - "Greco, it's quite an accomplishment to be the village idiot in a town the size of New York" - and Ralph Dunn (as "Dutch" Miller) lead a perfect supporting cast.

The boys do a bit of pretend-gangster, some Three Stooges, and finally a court drama. I can do without the court drama. It's the least interesting. I'm always a sucker for the Three Stooges and Sach does the eye poke block. That made me giddy. This is basic Bowery Boys hijinx.

- GoofsThe lawyer for the prosecution refers to the defendant's newspaper as a "slanderous rag." A lawyer should know the difference between slander (a verbal untruth) and libel (a printed untruth).

See, we of the fourth estate realize that time and tide wait for no homo sapiens. Let the quips fall where dey may. The presses shall roar tonight.
