Goofy Movies Number Three (1934)

Directed by

Comedy | Short

Overview

This “complete show on one reel” starts with Super-Stupid Picture’s “The Heel of a Nation”, in which the narrator tells a humorous story while the audience sees scenes from a totally unrelated, unidentified silent movie. Then comes a “Wotaphony” newsreel. The last segment is a spoof of James A. FitzPatrick’s Traveltalk series. We see a Pitts Fatrick Travel Squawk titled “A Visit to Schnozzle Isle.” Schnozzle Isle is just off the coast of a Polynesian land which, when seen from the air, has a profile that looks remarkably (or perhaps not so remarkably) like ‘Jimmy Durante’ .

Viewing Notes

Finishing the extras from the EVELYN PRENTICE dvd so I can return the set to the library. This “goofy movies” installment is just like the other one I watched; new narration over a silent film then some other comedy bits. I’m sure this was very funny to theater audiences at the time but not really so much now.
