BOSKO THE DOUGHBOY (Theatrical Release USA 1931)

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.9|5.0 Starsììì  Bosko the Doughboy—lacks that little spark necessary to make a short film work. This film reflects a grievous time in United States history and that light look is welcome. It just needs a small upgrade across the board to make that small leap.  Film Poster Courtesy of Google Images  Storyline  Bosko serves in the infantry during World War I.  Additional Thanks  Thank you to Director Hugh Harman for directing effort. Thank you to Producer Hugh Harman, Rudolf Ising, and Leon Schlesinger for making the film possible. Cast includes Johnny Murray and Rudolf Ising.  Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?   Yes. Bosko in WWI provides its fair share of comedy but lacks the little ‘zing’ that makes comedy glow.  Video Critique Available Here: Ben Meyers
