George Burns And Gracie Allen Show

These two classic episodes from the George Burns & Gracie Allen Show reflect the smooth transition of Burns & Allen from burlesque through radio to television.The Wedding and The Tax Assessor are taken from the shows first season and were recorded live in front of an audience. George Burns thrives on this often stopping the action to do a stand up routine smoking his eternal cigar and chewing the fat with the audience as the actors freeze waiting for the comedy to recommence. Added to this is the surreal humour and manic confusion created by his terminal naive partner Gracie Allen.These episodes rely on the timing and relationship of this consummate show business couple. When Gracie died in 1964 her loss devastated Burns. Their life love and comic genius are openly displayed in this DVD edtiion.
