Featured review
I Want The Jet-Propelled Canoe
George O'Hanlon needs his two-week vacation. He wants to spend it quietly, in a hammock in the backyard, reading ANTHONY ADVERSE. Wife Jane Harker considers home no vacation spot, so soon enough they're trundling across the countryside with a jet-propelled canoe, A fountain pen that can write underwater, an Indian guide, and the copy of ANTHONY ADVERSE he has been reading since 1934
If this seems like the mildly surreal comedy of TV's GREEN ACRES, there's no reason to be surprised. Richard Bare directed more than sixty of these shorts for Warner Brothers, then went into directing television, including GREEN ACRES. His large and undistinguished career of turning out very funny shorts, on the big and little screen, extended through 1973, and he died in 2015, 101 years old.
