Ellie for Council
Synopsis of Ellie for Council – The Andy Griffith Show season 1
Hot Lead and Cold Feet
Despite the heavy use of Don Knotts in the promotional materials, he actually has a fairly minor role. Hot Lead and Cold Feet deals with the crazy founder of an Old West town. He’s arranged a contest between his two sons after faking his death (all three roles are played by Jim Dale) to see who will inherit the old man’s fortune.

It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World
Review of It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World starring Spencer Tracy, Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, Buddy Hackett, Ethel Merman, Mickey Rooney, Phil Silvers, Jonathan Winters,
The basic plot involves a dying thief (Jimmy Durante) who tells a small group of bystanders where to find the hidden money from his last bank job. These individuals then embark on a treasure hunt of sorts, and the madcap fun begins! The initially small group grows. Until nearly a dozen people are looking for the treasure. The movie quickly turns into a slapstick farce. The various people compete to be the first to the location. And those people the funniest comedians and film clowns of their time. In addition, virtually every other major comedian or clown puts in a cameo appearance in the film.

They Go Wild Simply Wild Over Me
They Go Wild Simply Wild Over Me (1917) – lyrics by Joe McCarthy, music by Fred Fisher
I’m as mild mannered as I can be,
And I’ve never done them harm that I can see.
Still on me they put a ban, and they throw me in the can,
They go wild, simply wild, over me.
They accuse me of rascality,
But I can’t see why they always pick on me;
I’m as gentle as a lamb, but they take me for a ram.
They go wild, simply wild, over me.They Go Wild Simply Wild Over Me

The Mole People
The Mole People (1956) starring John Agar, Cynthia Patrick, Hugh Beaumont, Alan Napier
Ignore the pseudo-scientific explanation of how there could be a vast, underground civilization at the beginning of “The Mole People“–since it really doesn’t have much to do with the movie, and simply serves as padding.

The Invisible Woman
The Invisible Woman (1940), starring Virginia Bruce, Charles Lane, John Barrymore
The original The Invisible Man was a horror movie, mostly faithful to the original novel by H.G. Wells. The sequel, The Invisible Man Returns starring Vincent Price was equal parts horror movie, romance, and crime story. In contrast, The Invisible Woman is a comedy — a very enjoyable comedy.

Son of Paleface
Son of Paleface (1952) starring Bob Hope, Jane Russell, Roy Rogers
Movie review of Son of Paleface. Bob Hope‘s sequel to Paleface, again co-starring Jane Russell – as the son of the original Paleface, doing a screwball comedy set in the old American West. It’s vintage Bob Hope, and that’s saying quite a bit. A very funny movie, and well worth watching.
