The Glove Slingers (1939-1943)
The "Glove Slingers" comedies follow the adventures of Terry Kelly (who was portrayed by 3 different actors during the series run), an aspiring boxer. Terry eventually heads to college where he and his friends always get into some kind of crazy adventures, often with the aid of such comedians as Shemp Howard, Paul Hurst, Roscoe Ates, Wally Vernon and Monty Collins.
Every film seems to end with Terry getting into a fight...and always having boxing gloves within an arm's reach! These films are enjoyable, but weren't a big hit with audiences who saw them during their theatrical run. The series ended in 1943.
A handful of titles were syndicated by Screen Gems Television in 1959.
PLEASE NOTE: Available titles will be in ITALICS and UNDERLINED
If a title is not in ITALICS and UNDERLINED....I do not have it in my collection.
