Featured review
Pretty much you expect from a later Bowery Boys film
The Bowery Boys films were mindless entertainment. This is NOT meant as a criticism--they were quickly made and interesting B-movies with very modest pretenses. I mention this because you shouldn't expect a film that you'd find on a disc from The Criterion Collection or at a fancy film festival--they were popular entertainment for the masses. Because of that, I cut their films a lot of slack and realize they aren't 'high art'!
"Loose in London" is one of the later films from the Boys. Because of that Sach and Slip are looking practically geriatric (they're hardly boys any more) and all the familiar old members of the gang have long since disappeared. It's simply the Sach and Slip show.
The film begins with Sach (Huntz Hall) learning that a very, very distant relative in Britain wants to see him. Once there, the gang learn that the old man plans on leaving his fortune to someone...but hasn't yet decided. As for Sach's other family members, they've decided...Sach must die because he looks like the likely candidate because the Uncle seems to like him a lot! What follows is predictable and a nice time-passer. And, as usual, they manage to escape death...though you'd sure think these idiots would be the FIRST to die in real life!
Nothing special, nothing bad here. The usual blend of slapstick and laughs and nothing more.
