Well, Someone Has To
17 June 2020
The last of the Joe McDOakes shorts from Warner Brothers has wife Phyllis Coates wanting to work. Hubby George O'Hanlon gets her a job in his firm's accounting department with the boss's connivance that she will be so miserable she'll be anxious to get back to housework. Of course, as with all of this series, O'Hanlon's plans aft gang agley.

There are the usual absurd comedy bits early on, leading to a typically fine entry into the series. However the economics of film making were changing, and short subject production was no longer profitable.If you wanted to make a cheap, 20-minute comedy series, you went to the television producers. Farewell, Joe, and enjoy being behind that giant eightball.
