Commentaire à la une
One of the very best McDoakes films....
"So You Want to Be in Pictures" is one of the very best Joe McDoakes shorts...perhaps the best. It begins with Joe working hard to be an actor via a recorded correspondence course. It teaches him the important lessons of trying to sound like Charles Boyer or Ronald Colman--something all good actors need to do! While working on this lesson, he gets a phone call....it's the studio and he's got a part in a picture!
The next day, Joe appears at the studio...and the laughs started in earnest. You see a variety of Warner Brothers actors playing themselves, such as Jack Carson, Ronald Reagan and Alexis Smith. But my favorite is when George O'Hanlon (the guy who plays McDoakes) sees Joe and comments about him! In other words, you see O'Hanlon playing Joe AND at the same time another O'Hanlon playing himself! You also later see the same thing when the pair are working on a Joe McDoakes short together! This is a silly and fun film...with much to recommend it.
