3.0 out of 5 stars
FAIR LITTLE COMEDY., August 29, 2002
This review is from: Look Who's Laughing [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Radio stars of yore, Edgar Bergen and Fibber McGee and Molly (Jim and Marian Jordan) are teamed in this cute and corny little 1941 flick which will be of interest to those who relish nostalgia. Bergen has his airplane factory built in Wistful Vista (Fibber McGee and Molly's fictional radio hometown). Halton is Bergen's rival and hammy Neil Hamilton (remember Chief Inspector Gordon on BATMAN?) plays Bergen's millionaire friend who buys Bergen's property to build an airport. Harold Peary - aka - THE GREAT GILDERSLEEVE, is hammy but amusing as McGee's pal who unwittingly aids Halton's schemes to ruin Bergen. As Julie Patterson, 30 year-old Lucille Ball is vivacious and quite pretty as Bergen's secretary who almost marries Bergen's business manager, but predictably ends up the arms of Candace Bergen's Pop. Look for Sterling Holloway and frequent I LOVE LUCY guest player Charles Lane in bits.
