Four episodes of hilarity
featuring Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy. From the Golden Age of Television comes this hilarious game show with a unique twist - the co-hosts are made of wood! The most celebrated ventriloquist of all time, Edgar Bergen, brings his troupe of infamous dummies - Charlie McCarthy, Mortimer Snerd and Effie Clinker ? to television after having soared to fame in radio and film. Memorably attired in his top hat, tuxedo and monocle, Charlie McCarthy received a special wooden Oscar for his contribution to movies and was later enshrined in the Smithsonian Institution as an American icon. This collection of vintage episodes of "Do You Trust Your Wife?" features real-life married couples who compete for cash prizes by answering trivia questions, after first being subjected to comic interviews conducted by Edgar Bergen and his three wooden pals. Charlie, Mortimer and Effie always make the outrageous comments that mild-mannered Bergen wouldn't dream of delivering. In later seasons of the show, Bergen would hand over his hosting duties to a young, fresh-faced comedian named Johnny Carson.

| Letter Of
Introduction with Aldophe Menjou, Edgar Bergen &Charlie McCarthy and Eve Arden |
|
 |
A woman keeps her past a secret
in her efforts to succeed as an actress without the help of her estranged, but
famous, father. Adolphe Menjou is John Mannering, the high profile black sheep of a Barrymore-like family of theatrical legends. The aging, alcoholic womanizer is amused by the arrival of long lost daughter Kay (Andrea Leeds). Determined to become a star on her own merits, Kay has adopted the last name of "Martin." Mannering approves of Kay's high-minded actions and agrees to keep his daughter's identity a secret. As cruel result, Mannering and Kay become an item in the gossip columns as they are routinely seen together in public while refusing to explain their May-December relationship. Edgar Bergen and his tuxedoed smart mouthed dummy, Charlie McCarthy, are Kay's best friends. Their uproarious patter is the nearly constant commentary of the romantic intrigue around them. Photographed by remarkable German cinematographer Karl Freund and featuring Eve Arden as the "other woman" who also wants to sit on Edgar Bergen's lap, Letter of Introduction is a sincere, deftly-handled tapestry of fantastic romantic emotions. Starring: Adolphe Menjou &Edgar Bergen Directed by: John M. Stahl Screenplay by: Sheridan Gibnay &Leonard Spigelgass Based on an original story by Bernice Boone Run Time: 100 minutes Number of Discs: 1 Originally Released in 1938 Black &White No region encoding; For global distribution. |
