Anecdotes

Hold That Line is a 1952 American comedy film directed by William Beaudine and starring the Bowery Boys, John Bromfield, Veda Ann Borg, and Gloria Winters. The film was released on March 23, 1952 by Monogram Pictures and is the 25th film in the series.

Production

The working title was College Crazy. The Bowery Boys pictures were often topical, capitalizing on a popular trend -- in this case, college-campus movies like Bedtime for Bonzo, Monkey Business, and She's Working Her Way Through College.

Hold That Line marks the first of two appearances by Gil Stratton, Jr. as a member of the gang, replacing Billy Benedict. Stratton was reluctant to join the series, as his agent had accepted the job for the money, and Stratton tried to remain as inconspicuous as possible in the films, often giving his dialogue to Leo Gorcey or Huntz Hall.

Director William Beaudine captured the college-campus and football elements of Hold That Line so well that Monogram Pictures hired him to film a more elaborate football film, The Rose Bowl Story (1952).
