War Comedy?
DVD
D+
I don't know what to say. I knew of the Baby Burlesks series of shorts that preschool-age Shirley did and had seen a bit of one (Polly Tix I believe) in a documentary on censorship, but this is even weirder and more twisted than you'd imagine. Still, I might go with a C- if the dialogue weren't almost incomprehensible. Nine minutes with some jaw-dropping imagery. (And, yes, definitely an odd inclusion for a "Family Classics" collection.)
Charles Lamont, later of the Ma & Pa Kettle series, directed.
