| JOE MCDOAKES "So You Want to Be Pretty" |
| Day: Friday July 10 2020 |
| Time: 10:00 AM pacific |
| Channel: Turner Classic Movies (TCM) |
| I was just watching a marathon of JOE McDOAKES short films (starring George O'Hanlon, who does the voice of George Jetson in THE JETSONS) on TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES (TCM). I discovered something unexpected and valuable. In an episode called "So You Want to Be Pretty" (1956), "Alice McDoakes" (PHYLLIS COATES, who plays Lois Lane in the first season of ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN) has plastic surgery done. The story plays like a dream sequence even though it is not revealed to be that. Her entire head is covered in bandages and then the doctor slowly removes the bandages. Eventually, there is a shot where the bandages are only covering her mouth, looking like a gag. Later, she has the plastic surgery undone and there is another sequence of bandages being removed from her head and eventually only covering her mouth like a gag. The first sequence is a lot better than the second sequence. This episode will be repeated in the TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES (TCM) west coast broadcast at 10:00 AM pacific time. |
