Fighting Trouble is a 1956 American comedy film directed by George Blair and starring The Bowery Boys. It was released on September 16, 1956, by Allied Artists. The 42nd film in the Bowery Boys series, it was the first to feature Stanley Clements.

Production

The working title was Chasing Trouble. The studio had already used this title in 1940 for a Frankie Darro feature and, with the older Darro film now in television distribution, the new Bowery Boys film was renamed Fighting Trouble to avoid confusion.

Allied Artists had already agreed to supply exhibitors with four new Bowery Boys comedies for the year. Only one had been made (Crashing Las Vegas) when Leo Gorcey withdrew from the series, so the studio was obliged to fulfill the contracts with three more films, all of which were announced to the trade in September 1956. The group was now known as "Huntz Hall and the Bowery Boys".

Both Hall and Clements had considerable input in casting the film. Hall coaxed both Adele Jergens and Tim Ryan out of retirement to lend support to his first lead, and arranged for Joe Downing (who had appeared in the original Dead End play two decades before) to appear as a shady hypochondriac.

The usual stock theme music and background score by Marlin Skiles was dispensed with for this one picture. Twenty-six-year-old Buddy Bregman, then in the news for arranging and conducting a platinum-selling Bing Crosby record album, had just furnished the score for the studio's Crime in the Streets (1956).
