Double or Nothing (1936)
18 Jan 1936 • Comedy, Musical, Short • 0h 21m
A stuntman -- Phil Harris it claims, but it looks nothing like the Phil Harris who married Alice Faye and sang in the 1960s animated THE JUNGLE BOOK -- gets knocked out on the set and sent to the doctor. There he's put under gas and dreams he is in a faux-medieval court, where all the people he meets are celebrity impersonators.Although this wacky Oscar-nominated short ges on about being set in Hollywood, it is actually a Broadway Brevity produced by Vitagrah in Brooklyn. Well, it was all one industry, and the Big V, as it was known in the 1910s was now owned by Warner Brothers. A lot of mediocre but heartfelt performers pretend to be all sorts of famous Hollywood types. See if you can identify them!
