The Bowery Boys & Keep Away






Remember The Bowery Boys?  They were in movies in the 1940s and 50s.  They hung out in the back room of a malt shop and some guy probably with the name "Pop" ran it.  It was the kind of black and white movie you would see at the movies before noon on Saturday.

I think every episode they had a tangle with the neighborhood bad guys every episode the Bowery Boys had something that the bad guys needed to complete their evil plan.  And it always came down with the Bowery Boys played "Keep Away" with the Bad Guys.  The Bowery Boys had great expert precision choreography when playing "Keep Away".

One time we were in Long Beach, California, and as we drove through town we saw a gang of hoodlums play "keep away" with a poor old man and his hat.  Just like the Bowery Boys.
