Featured review
I Know That You Know
The swingy version of that song starts off this episode of the Warner Brothers' long-running short comedy series.... but it starts off every one of them, as George O'Hanlon and wife Jane Harker are evicted by their landlord and search desperately for a new apartment in rental-tight, post-war America.
It's a standard entry in the series, which means it is silly, absurd, and in an exaggerated way, concerns itself with the issues that confronted America in a changing time. That's probably why it lasted so long, closing down only in 1956, when television put an end to this sort of short subject by making them something you could see at home.
