I watched The Egg and I last night for the first time. It's a bit creepy, TBQH, but the fun parts are fun, and Marjorie and the dog are great.

I never realized how much Green Acres springs from it. It even has a Mr. Haney type (named Billy Reed) and a character named Mr. Henty.

Woman Feels Threatened Enough in Her Marriage That She Packs Up and Goes Home to Mother and Returns Nine Months Later with a Baby is maybe not as funny as they thought it was.

I'm sorry to report that the Great American Comedy Trope that people from the sticks are inbred idiots is not as unfunny as one should find it.

At least not if one is I.

The real flex would have been to nominate Marjorie for an Oscar for her 90 seconds onscreen in Dead End.

Also, young Richard Long was VERY cute.
