20 Beautiful Barberettes Of Seville
So, a drunk patron of the opera finds himself with a million dollar debt and a production of THE BARBER OF SEVILLE. He hires burlesque house manager Billy Gilbert to manage it for him. This may not be a good idea for opera -- there are several shots of the conductor ripping up scores and breaking batons --but it does make a moderately good comedy, as the burlesque comic takes over the lead, along with a chorus of 40 beautiful barberettes, and burlesque lyrics.
Billy is as funny as ever. His character is "Pinsky", a variation on the Minsky who ran the famed Minsky's Burlesque House.
