C L A U D E Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Have heard of it, but never seen it. Getting back to Edgar Bergen, saw him recently in a rare dramatic role as a good guy in an early Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea episode, though one still expcets to see or hear Charlie McCarthy. Great foil for WC Fields - someone who Lucille never worked with sadly. I know, Lucy also missed working with Laurel and Hardy and the great Chaplin of course, but she did do that one sketch with Buster Keaton on a special so at least she got to work with one of the era's greatest, he had mentored her in the beginning also.

JoeySanJoaquin Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Any other nominations for Volume 2 in addition to the Annabel Double Feature? Since they're going for comedy, I hope the third spot is taken by Beauty For The Asking or Seven Days Leave. Except I don't remember Beauty as a comedy but then I haven't seen it in years. Perhaps there'll be a Vol THREE with all dramas, hopefully including Five Came Back! After all, they could milk this to death! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Hepburn Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Beauty isn't a comedy... This is superb news! Just a heads up to anyone not familiar with the archive collection: movies are never remastered, discs are simply DVD-Rs (with labels) and theres a chapter break every 10 minutes. Still, a great way to finally get our hands on these in an official format! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark bale Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 When? Where? Who? How? The Three Stooges and The great Marx Brothers yes. She introduced them in the (1943 ?) radio show Stan's Wedding which was part of the series MAIL CALL. The boys mention her somewhere in the radio show (before the actual sketch if I remember rightly). I haven't heard this in a long time, so can't actually recall if she actually works with them, but it certainly appears as though she were there with them at the radio studio during the recording. So, really, she worked with them in the same capacity as she worked with Harold Lloyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't forget Abbott and Costello, Leon Errol, Edgar Kennedy. Did she ever work with Gracie Allen? Not sure if she ever did a Burns and Allen radio show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Lloyd directed one of her movies didn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shemp Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 She DID work with Laurel and Hardy though....... As did Desi, on the 1942 Hollywood Victory Caravan national tour, a celebrity war bond drive. Laurel & Hardy, Groucho Marx, Desi Arnaz, others. Newsreel footage of this turns up every now and then (has been on Youtube, but I can't find it there today). The unedited, sound & silent newsreel footage is included in its entirety as a DVD bonus on Warner Home Video's IN THIS OUR LIFE (1942). Has some nice moments with Stan & Babe trying to drive their jeep, with Desi sitting in the back breaking up laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Hepburn Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Some specialty DVD stores actually keep a selection of the DVDs in stock, but they are few and far between. What irks me is, they should release a nice commercial boxed set with five or six movies at once. I'm sure there's a bigger market for these movies than they'll be getting through selling it solely through the archive system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
