Class Reunion

It's Hal Roach alumni day in this excellent entry in Edgar Kennedy's long-running 'Average Man' series for RKO -- it ran from about 1933 until his death with a fine supporting cast of regulars including Florence Lake as his wife, Dot Farley as his horror of a mother-in-law and Jack Rice -- missing in this outing -- as his layabout brother-in-law.

In this one, ex-Roach director and cameraman George Stevens -- yes, that George Stevens -- directs and co-writes, along with fellow Roach alumnus Fred Guiol, and Bud Jamison and Fred Kelsey show up on the screen. Kelsey was so well known for playing comic cops that he showed up in a Tex Avery cartoon in the 1940s.

The net result is a short that shows the fine comic construction and execution of a Roach short of the period. If it comes your way, don't miss it.
