The Burns and Allen Show: Harry Morton's Secretary/Beverly Hills Uplift Society/Dance Lessons/Gracie's
Husband and wife team George Burns and Gracie Allen kept America laughing through much of the 1950s. Now a new generation can discover their wonderful program, The Burns and Allen Show, in this final volume of the three-volume set. Gracie Knows Best contains two episodes, the first of which is "Gracie Buying a Ranch for George. " After a weekend on Fred Astaire's ranch, Gracie is determined to buy George a ranch, despite his having no desire to live on one. The second episode, "Von Zell's Girlfriend Between Trains, " has Gracie posing as Harry Von Zell's wife, after he tells an old sweetheart that he's married. Gracie is at her finest as she tries to remember her name is Mabel Von Zell. In one memorable exchange of dialogue, sweetheart Dorothy says, "I imagined your wife would be taller, " to which Gracie responds, "Oh, sometimes I am. In the winter, when the days are shorter, I'm taller. " For some reason when Gracie delivers complete nonsense, it seems quite reasonable. As an interesting bonus, the original show sponsorships are left on the video, giving us a glimpse of the advertising world of the 1950s ("Carnation, the milk from contented cows"). --Jenny Brown Binding DVD.
