About this product
Paulette Goddard Double Feature - Pot O'Gold - Hysterical 1940's classic comedy starring Jimmy Stewart, Paulette Goddard and Horace Heidt. Based on the radio show of the period, 'Pot O' Gold' is an amusing look at a failed music store owner, Jimmy Stewart and his uncle Horace Heidt, owner of a food factory who wants Stewart to come to work for him. Before Stewart goes to work for his uncle, he befriends an Irish family who are his uncle's worst nightmare, as they are in-house musicians and always practicing. Stewart finds himself helping the band by placing them on his uncle's radio show, and works to reconcile the family with his uncle, an avid music-hater. The radio show has promised to give away $1,000 every week, and then things begin to get very complicated. Second Chorus (1940) - Danny (Fred Astaire) and Hank (Burgess Meredith) are trumpet players in their college band, The O'Neill's Perennials. Always short of money they meet Ellen (Paulette Goddard) in a debt collectors office and offer her a job as their new band manager.

Comedy legend Irene Dunne wasn't always known for pulling a laugh out of every situation-but once she got the chance to work for guffaws, she never looked back, and we were all the happier for it. This double feature highlights two particular high points in Dunne's on-screen comedy repertoire. In THEODORA GOES WILD (Melvyn Douglas, Thomas Mitchell. Directed by Richard Boleslawski. 1936/94 min)-Dunne's first comedy role, and a massive hit-she plays mild-mannered Theodora Lynn, small-town Connecticut schoolteacher and former church organist who, unbeknownst to her good Christian neighbors, writes racy best-selling novels under a pen name that everybody's secretly reading. In OVER 21 (Alexander Knox, Charles Coburn. Directed by Charles Vidor. 1945/105 min), Dunne stars as Paula InchPaulieInch Wharton, a would-be screenwriter and wife to the patriotic newspaper editor Max. Max enlists to join the good fight in World War II, and Paulie can't help but move to a bungalow right down the street from basic training to support her man. Hijinks ensue! B&w/NR/fullscreen.
