Stop, this was SO FUN!! Like all the best Butt Newses, it makes me want to watch it even though I know for a fact I won’t enjoy it as much as I enjoyed reading this. Petition for more classic Butt News reviews from Meagan!
I just watched this because I saw there was a recap in the newsletter, so I knew I could read it as soon as I finished watching. Thank you for this guest brilliance! I guffawed throughout.
I also went on a deep dive about Alexis Smith aka cousin Winifred, and wow, she was incredibly gorgeous and Canadian. She said this was her favorite part in her career, and I can see how this character would be especially hilarious to 1951 audiences since she was a known pinup and glamorpuss. Bing Crosby did suck (according to his son’s memoir), but you’re absolutely right, he’s a dazzler. And that little girl! Her face is so haunting! She’s still alive and looks fabulous. Bobby the actor seems to have disappeared after this part. He’s does really well with his ridiculous lines.
Question, what is that goodbye wave across the face they all do? Is that a Bing Crosby thing or a 1951 TikTok trend or ?
