None of the "comedy" elements work in this movie. Gorcey is annoying and Hall is even worse! It's astounding what passed for entertainment in the 40s and 50s. Obviously, the plot is a joke, as in every Bowery Boys movie. This wouldn't be a problem if they were amusing in any way. Malapropisms and mugging for the camera is not automatically funny, and it's actually kind of sad here. Eric Blore, as the genie, is head and shoulders above the rest of the cast, but I couldn't get past his stereotypical British teeth. Terrible movie!

Slip and Sach get their hands on a magic lamp with a genie (Eric Blore) inside. It's the thirty-sixth entry in the series and, while it's far from the best, it is enjoyable enough thanks in large part to the inimitable Eric Blore in his final film. Leo Gorcey and Huntz Hall mostly go through the motions but they do have some amusing moments. Of course, Bernard Gorcey is funny as Louie. The rest of the gang is, as usual, background furniture. Although David Gorcey manages to get a few lines this time, so good for him. The supporting cast is what keeps the movie afloat. There's Robert Bice, Dick Wessell, and Michael Ross as three gangsters who want the lamp for themselves. Joan Shawlee plays a sexy moll and handles herself quite well with the comedy, including a couple of fun scenes bantering with Hall. Pretty much all of the movie's highlights involve Blore, a wonderful comic actor who played in over eighty films in his twenty plus years in Hollywood.

The usual bowery boys capers, and this one has ERIC BLORE as the genie! in his very last role. Somehow.... Sach buys the magic lamp in a pawn shop, and that's the beginning of all the trouble. Leo Gorcey, his brother, and his dad of course. and Huntz Hall as the sidekick. the main plot revolves around thugs threatening Louie if he doesn't give up his shop. lots of fighting and clunking on the head. shooting. running around in circles. and Genie gets drunk with Slip's dad. yeah, who knows?? this one is a little juvenile. but it DOES have eric blore. in his very last role! so much silliness. directed by Edward Bernds. was nominated for High Society, 1957.

The fabled lamp of Aladdin with a pixie like genie has turned up in of all places, the Bowery, New York City. And who acquires the lamp? Here's a hint, it wasn't Mayor Wagner. Bowery To Bagdad finds Leo Gorcey and Huntz Hall with joint ownership of the lamp and they seal the partnership so much so that genie Eric Blore can't do anything unless they both agree. Huntz Hall being the simple soul he is wants five malteds, but Gorcey has higher ambitions, but just can't get it done. Not that the Bowery Boys are the only ones who want the lamp. A gangster with molls Joan Shawlee and Jean Willes played by Robert Bice has gotten wind of it. And a couple of Arab looking characters are in the hunt as well. Blore kind of likes the boys, but they've tangled things up pretty good. Bowery To Bagdad doesn't have quite the ring of Kaiser Wilhelm's fabled project of the Berlin to Bagdad railroad, but I assure you this one is a much funnier journey.
