Shuttling from studio to studio, Bricker worked on many "series" entries, featuring such recurring screen characters as Mr. Moto, Torchy Blane and the Gas House Kids. At 20th Century-Fox, he wrote the original story for Laurel and Hardy's The Dancing Masters (1943), a not-bad scenario that was promptly ignored in favor of a string of very tired old gags. He also hacked out two less-than-classic horror films, Bela Lugosi's The Devil Bat (1940) and the Rondo Hatton vehicle The Brute Man (1946). While at Universal in the mid-1940s, George Bricker served as producer of the Martha O'Driscoll starrer Blonde Alibi (1946). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
