Bloodhounds of Broadway (1952) Reviews

Member Rating:

Bloodhounds of Broadway was one of many Damon Runyon adaptations filmed in the wake of the 1950 Broadway hit Guys and Dolls. Manhattan bookie Scott Brady skips town to avoid a crime investigation. He meets hillbilly Mitzi Gaynor and vows to get the talented young miss into show business. Thanks to her positive influence, the bookie agrees to face the investigating committee, but changes his mind and plans to skip the country. The broken-hearted Gaynor is gratified when Brady changes his mind again, confesses his crimes (none of them homicidal) and serves a year in jail. When he returns to civilian life, Gaynor is headlining at a posh nightclub, whose employees are all former crooks and gangsters--including Charles Bronson as a waiter! Bloodhound of Broadway was remade (sort of) under the same title in 1989, this time as a PBS American Playhouse special (subsequently given theatrical release) starring Matt Dillon and Madonna. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

I like anything with Mitzi Gaynor in it....but I have to admit this movie was very corny! I was totally facinated by the tiny little girl (Sharon Baird) dancing with Mitzi! So much so that I had to look her up on the web. To my delight I learned she was a star dancer on the Mickey Mouse Club for four years! Then I recognized her! In Bloodhounds of Broadway I thought she was only about 3 or 4 yeqrs old but actually she was almost 10! Great little dancer.
