About Dig That Uranium
The boys buy a uranium mine out west, but when they get there they find that it's pretty much worthless. However, the local badmen are distrustful of these new strangers, and when they mistakenly get the impression that the mine is loaded with uranium, they hatch a scheme to get rid of the boys and take over the mine.
Directed by Edward Bernds, Dig That Uranium leans on a strong ensemble — Leo Gorcey, Huntz Hall, Bernard Gorcey — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1955.
