If you ever walk into a hospital and see and hear Gracie Allen there, run run run! One of the first thing she says to the bedridden George Burns is "Are you the patient who died?" from then on, pretty much everything she talks to him about involves death including dogs for brother has shot, a woman who had triplets and left with twins and the number of patients she's treated who ended up in the morgue. Admitting to him that he's her last chance or otherwise she'll be fired, Allen has Burns prepared for the mental ward within 10 minutes, the running time of this short.
Breezy but dark, the premise of this comedy has Burns in surgery by mistake, simply having found a man passed out on the street and trying to help. While much of the comedy is very funny, it is dated and may be a bit disturbing considering some of the subject matter that it covers. Still, Burns and Allen are a classic team and Gracie is irresistible. One of the funnier moments has her screwing up the names of the various months and claiming that her sister has a brother whom she is not related to. If they ever decide to crown the queen of the malapropism, they need look no further than the delightful Gracie Allen.
