Sach: Hair to an English Fortune

This BB movie marks the first time that opening theme is an instrumental version of "The Gang's All Here." Also, this is the first time that caricatures of Slip and Sach appear on either side of the screen as the opening credits roll. These are fresh, welcome changes that emphasize that Sach and Slip are going to be the main focus of the BB movies from now on. Louie has better lines, but Chuck and Butch are pure background scenery and have almost no lines.

The plot revolves around Sach learning that he is one of the heirs to a British fortune. The patriarch, Sir Percy, wants to gather the clan at his London castle to see which one deserve to be named in his will. Naturally, a few of the other potential legatees want to do away with the Sir Percy. This is the situation the BBs find themselves in when they arrive at the castle. Can they protect Percy from the evil distant cousins?

Angela Greene plays Lady Marcia. In the early 1940s, she dated young naval Lieutenant John F. Kennedy. Seeing Angela in Loose in London, it's easy to see why the future President was so interested in her.

Loose in London does mark a big change in the Bowery Boys movies. The accent is now on Sach and Slip, the comedy, and away from the gangster/crime elements that featured so prominently in previous movies in the series.
