The "Negro" dancing in the 39 Steps book is Bill Robinson (aka Bojangles), co-star of several Shirley Temple films. The Informer is a parody drawing of Victor McLaglen, who won the Best Actor Oscar for the 1935 film version.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589696115267272664.post-44804130380519400422012-10-08T09:41:25.329-07:002012-10-08T09:41:25.329-07:00I have the verrsion with the Cab Calloway (but no ...I have the verrsion with the Cab Calloway (but no Alexander Woolcott) pn the 1992 "Golden Ag of Looney Tunes" cassette, MGM/UA.Restored Tch.versions...Hope voice voice list is correct..would love for Keith Scott to confirm to see if Georgia Carll is the brief female voice as Calloway-isninging Heidy Heidi Heidi.

In the film Brady is very much a ladies man, so the whole "Have you got any mortgages you to have paid baby" line was probably less about greed and more about seduction.Brent McKeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14883838112004433045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589696115267272664.post-59503301918214011732012-09-23T09:21:16.499-07:002012-09-23T09:21:16.499-07:00Emily “Host” actually says, “Such a lack of good m...Emily “Host” actually says, “Such a lack of good manners. You should follow my book, Henry...” <br /><br />You wrote, "Old King Cole is annoyed once more with the music as he grabs out his scissors, 'I'll get out my scissors that cut'": You mean Rip Van Winkle. <br /><br />The joke about Aladdin’s Wonderful Lamp is that the word “lamp” back then meant a black eye, which is what one of the Musketeers gave him. <br /><br />“The Informer” character is actually a caricature of Victor McLagen, who starred in a 1935 adaptation of the novel directed by John Ford. He even won an Oscar for Best Actor in the role.Devon Baxterhttp://www.youtube.com/baxterfilmsnoreply@blogger.com
