George Gobel Show with Angela Lansbury 1954

This is a print of a 16mm kinescope I haven't had a chance to restore yet. But I thought everyone would enjoy seeing it because it starred Angela Lansbury.

With guitar in hand, George explains what goes into a good folk song, that they should include the words "Ireland" and "Mother." So he reduces his number to just a last line only, "She's that old Irish mother of mine!"

In the main skit, Angela Lansbury plays George's wife, and they discuss just what to do with their incorrigible (off screen) son after he left her tied and gagged in a kitchen chair.

They consider sending him to a strict military school, and George goes off to give him a talking to, but he also gets bound up.
