Zombies on Broadway (or Loonies on Broadway in the UK) is an American Comedy-horror film released in 1945.
[edit] Plot Summary
The duo of Jerry Miles and Mike Strage are employed as Broadway press agents. Miles and Strage's latest idea is to hire a genuine zombie for the opening of a new nightclub. The boys head to the Caribbean island of San Sebastian with the cabaret singer Jean la Dance, where they eventually meet up with the zombie expert Professor Renault. Strage becomes "zombified" by being under the spell of Renault's secret formula and Miles, la Dance, and Strage return home. When Strage comes out of his trance, the boys must face the wrath of Ace Miller, a nightclub owner, who is more frightening then anything they've seen yet.
[edit] Reception
Zombies on Broadway turned into a profit for RKO, which encouraged the studio to re-unite Brown, Carney, Anne Jeffreys and Bela Lugosi for the film Genius at Work in 1946.
