Sunday, May 10th 2009 - [1491]Party Line (7 of 14)
Original Commentary
Mike Wilson is the vaudevillian mentioned in the previous arc. Love Happy is by the Marx Brothers. It's their last movie and one they'd generally last forget. I have seen The Horn Blows at Midnight, Jack Benny's last movie. Listening to him talk about how it bombed was more amusing than the movie itself - Terrence
Modern Commentary
I haven't seen Love Happy, but I've heard it's atrocious. But it paid off Chico's gambling debts which were even worse.
I wonder if Sandra recognizes these as awful movies or just old ones that wouldn't play well as background to a party. Probably the latter. She's watched one or two of her uncle's other movies and they were lousy. She's checking in the hope that there will be a fun classic of some kind rather than a bunch of ancient stuff that nobody's heard of.
