Watching “The Bowery Boys” On TCM Also David(s), Dumbrowski and Dombrowski

It was a truly enjoyable experience to see some of the movies involving “The Bowery Boys” (The Gorceys-Leo, Bernard, and David), Huntz Hall and Gabriel Dell on TCM two nights ago.

Additionally, TCM’s Alicia Malone imparted some good information about the history of the “Bowery Boys” films.

Leo Gorcey, the star, stopped working after his father Bernard Gorcey (Louie Dumbrowski was his character) was killed in an auto accident.

The names David and Dumbrowski evoked thoughts of Red Sox general manager, David Dombrowski, who a scant two days earlier won his second title (the other with the ’97 Florida Marlins).
