Storyline
Plot Summary |
This Pete Smith Specialty looks at the annoying types of people we have all come into contact with when going to the movies. They include those who sit down, then take off their coats and scarves; people with aisle seats who stick their feet in the aisle; people who put their knees on the back of your seat; and loud snackers. Smith also fantasizes as to how we would punish such movie-goers.

Quotes |
Narrator:
This unhappy little man can't see the screen because he's behind a mountain of millinery. Once in a while he takes a peek just to be sure he's missing something. See more » |
