The Gay Nighties

3.0 20 mins Comedy   1933
RKO Radio Pictures  
Director(s): Mark Sandrich

This short features two women who run around in their nighties. Paul McCullough spends most of the picture in a dress, and Bobby Clark does an extended riff on the word "Alright!" which Lou Costello later stole verbatim. There is a political frameup, a nearsighted hotel house detective, and the ever-popular upstairs motorcycle chase.
