Hold That Line

Hold That Line is a 1952 American comedy film directed by William Beaudine and starring the Bowery Boys, Veda Ann Borg and Gloria Winters.

Sach is out of "vitamins," so Slip plans a ruse on the playing field that distracts the other team and allows him to score the winning touchdown.

Stratton was reluctant to join the series (his agent accepted the job for the money), and he tried to keep himself as inconspicuous as possible in the films; he often gave his dialogue to Leo Gorcey or Huntz Hall.

[1] Director William Beaudine captured the college-campus and football elements of Hold That Line so well that Monogram hired him to film a more elaborate gridiron picture, The Rose Bowl Story, that same season.

Warner Archives released the film on made-to-order DVD in the United States as part of "The Bowery Boys, Volume Two" on April 9, 2013.
