One Big Happy Family

1935 · 21 min

A quick, silly old comedy short that coasts on broad hillbilly gags and slapstick energy rather than any real stakes.

Overview
When Tim Ryan's leading lady walks out in a small hillbilly town, the leading lady he selects -- at gunpoint -- is dumb bell Irene Ryan.
