Joe E. Brown Gets Bobby Into Trouble
28 January 2020
In this, the tenth short in the series 'How I Play Golf By Bobby Jones', the usual assortment of Warner Brothers stars come across the great player on the links. Joe E. Brown - no mean athlete himself - bets that if he and Bobby change balls after the shots from the tees, he will win. Brown gives Jones a number of tough lies - in sandtraps, in water, in stymies - and then Jones gets out. We then get the shots in slow motion, with Jones commenting in his slow Georgian accent.

Director George Marshall had begun directing in the 1910s, then wound up in charge of Fox's comedy shorts in the 1920s. Between troubles at Fox and the suspicion with which silent film directors were held in the early sound era, Marshall was wandering from company to company, from Roach to Warner's and then elsewhere. DESTRY RIDES AGAIN put him back on the top of the heap, and he directed into the 1970s.
