Did'ja Know? (1950)
5/10
A yawn's okay in this movie theater short
30 April 2022
"Did ja Know" is one of the movie shorts made by MGM with Pete Smith as the narrator. This one is a mere eight minutes in length and covers a few things with some silliness or goofy antics. The first is a visit to Blair General Hospital with a look at some expectant fathers in the delivery ward waiting area. A brief segment covers greeting cards with some strange examples. Then, it's back in the hospital and a patient who's trying to sleep with noisy radiators banging and hissing. That won't register at all with modern audiences, but some cinephiles will remember (we know who we are). The last segment has various animals yawning and people watching them who then yawn. As Pete Smith concludes, "Yawns can be catching."
