Humorous tale of two enterprising men in the 1920s using a newspaper ad of a woman seeking a husband to generate interest from marriage-minded men -- and their $4 "application fee" to be considered. Gwynne's folksy character is entertaining. Some great transitional music that moves the scenes -- it reminds me of the old Rankin-Bass animation productions. (Wonder where we could find them on the internet?) Some vintage ads as well, especially the last eight minutes. "Agree Conditioner -- Gets rid of the greasies!"
