Storyline
Featured review
mildly amusing short
It's the Pete Smith Specialty series from MGM. Hugo Hightonsils (Dave O'Brien) has to fix various things around the house... in his own special ways. His young son has a loose tooth. His older son is practicing baseball.
It's very standard. It's cartoonish. It's simple. It's mildly humorous. The Pete Smith narration works for this type of old time comedy. Dave O'Brien is doing fine silent film work. The smallest kid is pretty good. He has a bit Denise the Menace energy. Sadly, his career never gets into his teen years. He did get into the Mickey Mouse Club. They could expand this short if they bring in a wife.
