Fun Short

Fancy Answers (1941)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

Pete Smith/MGM short is pretty fun as it asks the viewer all sorts of multiple answer questions and then gives them ten seconds to answer. The questions are from various subjects and includes the American flag, tropical dresses, football sounds, what color a zebra is and so on. There's really nothing too overly special about this film but it does earn some credit for mild charm and Smith's narration is always well done. The most interesting thing is that Ava Gardner made her debut in this film as one of the models at a recital. She looks good but doesn't have any dialogue.
