- George and Gracie go to see an Alan Ladd movie, and Gracie is smitten. When this makes George jealous, Ladd shows up in person.
George makes a reference during the movie to Vox Pop, which was a popular radio show with man-in-the-street interviews and quizzes. The title comes from the latin phrase "vox populi". Mel Blanc's downcast mailman makes another appearance; the character was a takeoff on Bill Thompson's Wallace Whimple character from Fibber McGee and Molly.
This episode starts with a wartime plea from Gracie to conserve paper. Even toward the end of the war, there was a strong focus on conservation and the homefront war effort
Love these.
Wonderful hilarious stuff.
Mel Blanc would later use this voice for the depressed hyena Hardy Har-Har in the Hanna-Barbera cartoon Lippy the Lion and Hardy Har-Har, released as part of the Wally Gator show in 1962.
Gracie Allen absolutely took the cake! She was just too funny!
… and a few other characters too.
sounds like they had to squeegee down more than a few seats after Ladd was finished.
I love Alan Ladd"s voice very much.
God gives two things, handsome and rich voice!
It's funny because he was often given taciturn roles in his movies. Yet, he had a great voice and did a lot of radio work.
Can someone explain the date or episode sequences? Is it a month/day/year type thing or season/episode thing? (In the Video title)
Yes 1940's mostly radio shows were recorded
@Amelia Amelia: it is a month/day/year thing. So, this particular episode is from January 15, 1945. Hope that helps. ~ Vintage Doll
@@vintage.doll.1926 thank you yes :)
@@vintage.doll.1926, since there is no 15th month nor days or months that consist of four digits, I’d think it was obvious that the broadcast date of 01-15-1945 is January 15, 1945.
