last week, So was gona be seen in the enterprise
production parts of time. Ben Klusky, a parent is driving
in the paramount picture of Welcome Thinker. This is Michael
Royan Honeywood. Listen you good night, head over the.
Speaker 3: Heda Hey, Columbia Broadcasting System.
Speaker 1: Welcome Back a Bob Hope. Half hour movie adaptation is
always a bit of an experience. It's always filled with
ad labs and jokes that aren't in the script, and
the way that whole scene between him and Dorothy Lemore's
character was the highlight of the episode. From this episode,
you really kind of get mostly the bare bones of
the film's plot. And there are films that do adapt
pretty well down to this half hour format. This isn't
one of them. The film has a lot more going
for it, in particular some really fun performances from Peter
Lourie and Lon Cheney Junior as major villains, a segment
where Ronnie gets locked up in a sanitarium and has
to escape, and this really hilarious bit in a hotel
room where he is trying to record the bad guys
revealing their nefarious plan. And I do have to admit
one of the really odd compression choices is having the
scene where Ronnie tells the mom that he's not going
to take baby pictures anymore, right before the scene where
he tells Dorothy Lamore He's not going to be a
private detective anymore. But at any rate, it's a fun
little play despite the audio issues. But if you are interested,
I would encourage you to go and watch the movie. Well,
