Although I did type "Boston Beans" on a Google search engine but very little information popped up; and I didn't know what else to do.Steven Hartleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13825398324719609394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589696115267272664.post-49063816886399412992012-02-20T23:41:18.799-08:002012-02-20T23:41:18.799-08:00Bob Clampett said Hansen was a woman who was able ...Bob Clampett said Hansen was a woman who was able to do a little girl voice. I'll take his word for it. It's pretty evident listening to her that she's no child.<br />Hardaway didn't leave the studio until the start of 1940. He was demoted to writing when Avery came and then ended up directing again a couple of years later.<br />Tommy Turtle was supposed to be part of Schlesinger's "Our Gang"-inspired group, but it's evident the characters were being played with as some were in adulthood or adolescence here.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589696115267272664.post-1531607949349191152012-02-20T12:05:21.965-08:002012-02-20T12:05:21.965-08:00The "Boston Beans" gag is something tha...The "Boston Beans" gag is something that Americans of the period, and even today would get immediately. The city of Boston is known for baked beans made with molasses to the point where Boston had (and still has) the nickname of "Beantown." In addition by introducing himself as "one of the Boston Beans" is mimicking the tendency of many wealthy people (the "old money" types) who introduced themselves by including their family's home city to differentiate themselves from other wealthy people with the same name or worse, from poor people with the same name. In short, by introducing himself as one of the "Boston Beans" our hero is putting on airs (that he probably doesn't deserve) and trying to impress people.Brent McKeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14883838112004433045noreply@blogger.com
