Devilishly funny take on one of man's worst fears..., 16 March 2008
6/10
Author: Neil Doyle from U.S.A.

GEORGE O'HANLON plays "everyman" Joe McDoakes, alarmed by the fact that when he showers he notices he's losing his hair. Right then and there, he decides he has to do something about his predicament and he seeks the help of professionals to correct what he thinks is a fate worse than death.

Naturally, nothing really works. And, of course, no mention is made of the fact that genetics has a lot to do with this particular defect. But the comedy goes from one funny incident to another without taking a breath, so it's breezy fun all the way and you have to wonder how it's all going to turn out.

Just one of many episodes in the series directed by Richard L. Bare about Joe McDoakes coping with everyday problems (and usually losing in comic fashion), an amusing series that accompanied the double bills of the '40s and generally provoked a few chuckles or downright laughter with varying degrees of success.
