Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe joke about the bird that flies upside-down was derived from a routine originated by Fred Allen called "the bird that flies backwards." George Burns had been using Allen's version of the joke in his stand-up act, and Allen was not happy when he caught wind of it, so Burns consulted writer John P. Medbury who came up with a slightly different variation of the gag on the spot.
Featured review
I Think It's "Be Far From Me"
George Burns walks into a bookstore, where shopgirl Gracie Allen tries to sell him a copy of THE LAST DAYS OF POMPEII. Gracie talks about her brothers, who seem to be twins mistaken for triplets because one of them is two-faced. We also get to.see Donald Meek as her father.
In an effort to give. The dozen shorts they made from 1929 through 1933 some structure, Burns & Allen usually had some situation, ad interaction with other players, usuaully in an effort to give Burns some funny lines; when the act started, after all, he was the comic and Miss Allen was the straight man. Me, I'd rather just hear Gracie talk about her brother.
