Meet Mother Magoo (1956)

Directed by Pete Burness

Overview

Mr. Magoo brings in his mail opening up a flyer for a store’s “83rd Anniversary Sale”. Magoo thinks that the flyer is a letter from his mother about her “83rd birthday” and begins to worry that maybe he hasn’t spent enough time with his mother lately. He goes to pay his mother a visit to make up for lost time but upon arriving, Mother Magoo doesn’t quite appreciate Magoo’s attempts at being helpful such as baking a feather duster thinking it to be a turkey dinner. So she uses psychology to eventually persuade him to go back home (at least until next year).
