Favourite bit In the reporters office Eugene Pallette is already on the telephone when another one rings. Reporter Stuart Erwin picks it up and repeatedly says "No", whilst Pallette is saying "Yes" on his call. To add to the confusion, fellow reporter Richard 'Skeets' Gallagher takes a third call and continues to answer "Maybe". Add all three together when Gary Cooper walks into the room and it sounds like a chorus of mishaps in the room. Good timing. |
