Episode 25

Episode overview

Host George Murphy, in the musical section, introduces "The Donkey Serenade" number from The Firefly (1937), the number which takes an unusual approach in a love song: by having the protagonist (portrayed by Allan Jones) use a third party to profess his love, namely though his donkey. In the "Hall of Fame" segment, Murphy shows a scene from Dinner at Eight (1933) featuring Wallace Beery and Jean Harlow, both of whom carved out a unique niche in Hollywood. Murphy then shows the short film Inca Gold (1943), which tells the story of the lost Inca gold of El Dorado. In the Upcoming Feature segment, the host then introduces Dan Dailey who, in turn, introduces his young Japanese co-star Mitsuko Sawamura. They talk about their new movie Meet Me in Las Vegas (1956) and how non-English speaking Mitsuko learned the English lyrics for their song "My Lucky Charm".
