Sweet little time capsule with Brenda + Cobina


I missed the first few minutes but caught most of this pre-WW2 movie on a relatively new broadcast station called get.tv. Quite fun to see the Three Stooges at their best, Ann Miller (apparently abt 22-yrs old), Rudy Vallee and Allen Jenkins.

But my attention was also caught by two minor characters, Brenda, played by Blanche Stewart, and Cobina, played by Elvia Allman. I'd heard about these characters for years... they were radio favorites back when my parents were young and dating. Thirty years later they still used "Brenda & Cobina" as a catchphrase to tease their daughters when they thought we were up to something goofy.

If they repeat it, I need to catch the beginning.

I thought the movie was quite enjoyable as a whole, including their work, when I saw it for the first time last night. 8/10 for me IMHO. I found it in a nice pack of 6 The Three Stooges films for $10. No extras of any kind, though--just the films.
