Semi-Successful Comedy

This film pairs Fibber McGee and Molly with Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy. Bergen holds up as fun entertainment, using Charlie as a separate entity who has his own contrary personality. Fibber and Molly, unfortunately, do not translate well from radio. No doubt radio "watchers" used to scream with anticipation whenever Fibber even thought about opening that closet, but on film it is as dull as a doorknob.

It's fun to see Lucille Ball, though she doesn't get to spread her comedy wings much in this role.
