Hot Shots
One sheet poster is for the
1956 American comedy film Hot Shots, starring Huntz Hall and the Bowery Boys. It was the 43rd feature film in the long-running Bowery Boys series and was released by Monogram Pictures on December 23, 1956.
Plot Overview
The story follows Horace Debussy "Sach" Jones (Huntz Hall) and Stanislaus "Duke" Coveleskie (Stanley Clements) as they get mixed up in the world of television.
The Bratty Star: A spoiled child TV star, Joey Munroe (Phil Phillips), steals Sach and Duke's car.
New Jobs: After catching the boy, television executives are impressed by the duo and hire them as "vice presidents" (essentially babysitters) to keep Joey in line.
The Kidnapping: Joey's corrupt uncle/manager, who has been stealing the boy's earnings, eventually kidnaps him for ransom to cover his tracks.
The Rescue: Sach and Duke must then rescue Joey and clear their own names after initially being accused of the kidnapping.
Key Cast & Crew
Director: Jean Yarbrough
Huntz Hall: Sach Jones
Stanley Clements: Duke Coveleskie (replacing long-time star Leo Gorcey)
Joi Lansing: Connie Forbes, a curvaceous executive secretary
Phil Phillips: Joey Munroe (this was his first motion picture appearance)

Fun Facts

The poster features the tagline "They're BIG SHOTS of the T.V. NUTWORK!".
While often confused with the 1991 Charlie Sheen parody movie of the same name, this 1956 film is part of a 48-movie series that ran from 1946 to 1958.
