I loved Leo Gorcy in the Bowery Boys. In NY in the early 70s, one of the TV stations used to run Abbott and Costello and the Bowery Boys late Sunday mornings. Those were the days.

just the sort of movie needed by those of us on lockdown. Simpler times, lovely humor, and pure escapism. Happily ever after also!

Leo Gorcy: one the funniest actors of all time and mostly forgotten. It is criminal. He was drop-dead funny, with his own language.

I love the way 'Clutch' was always using the wrong word to describe something. Hilarious. Thanks for posting this Timeless Classic Movies.

Thank you, Timeless Classic Movies, for all your wonderful, timeless movies. Keep 'em coming!

George Zucco always had a sinister air, even in these non-horror movies. Thanks for the upload.

[@garryferrington811]

Too bad this is probably the best version of this epic in existence. George Zucco was a fine British actor who went to Hollywood rather late in life.

[@rafaelmadrigal9038]

Right off the bat this movie started on the right foot and scored a home run for me. I recommend it.

[@patrickoneill8707]

Any film with George Zucco is a winner.

[@johnwillard8311]

George Zucco was a villain in so many films that, even when he turned out to not be the villain, he was deliberately cast to make the audience suspect him. The same was true of Lionel Atwill and Henry Daniell.

This is at times a literal laugh out loud classic. Good writing and acting. This was enjoyable from the first scene to the last.

Fabulous old time comedy/mystery that I enjoyed a delightful morsel at a time. Too many current so called comedy mysteries present both parts in a loud, clumsly Did YouGet It way. I can count on these classis TCM films to present their heroes, villans and plots in a somewhat predictable fashion. The boy and girl end up together. The bad guys get theirs. On the way, though, I laugh, shed a tear and get a brief respite from the true ugliness on the news. Because of my real world, I NEED my TCM films, plots and characters more than ever. Patrick G.

Body, body, who's got the body? These old black and white movies are simply great and fun to watch. Great story line and cast for this classic movie. Joe S

[@rogerrendzak8055]

Never thought I'd see, Zucco and Gorcey, together in the same film☺️👍!!!

[@JEFFIE-jp6kj]

What's better than a movie starring Leo Gorcey & George Zucco LUVIT :)

[@mikekutz5776]
