Blondie Movies: Blondie in Society (United States, 1941)


Figure 1.-- Blondie enters the dog in the local dog show. She also sings songs with the Mitchell Boys' Choir. The Robert Mitchell Boy Choir as the Ranger troop accompanies Blondie (the lovely Penny Singleton) in a song used to help a Great Dane perform at the dog show.

Dagwood as a favor to an old friend finds himself in possession of a massive pedigreed Great Dane--'Chin-Up-White-Tie-For-Dinner'. Or perhaps it is the Great Dane who posses Dagwood, hard to tell. . Anyway Dagwood brings the lumbering beast home. Daisy is not impressed ar all. Actually an important client, Waldo Pincus, wants the dog. Blondie enters the dog in the local dog show. She also sings songs with the Robert Mitchell Boys' Choir. Baby Dumpling joins a Scout-like group--the Boy Rangers. The boys wear a Scout-like uniform. I am not entirely sure why they didn't wear official Boy Scout uniforms. This was usually done in the 1930s. Perhaps the fact that Baby Dumpling was not old enough fo the Cubs, let alone the Scouts was a problem. Or perhaps there was some kind of dispute between the studio and the Boy Scouts of America. Here I do not yet have the details. The Robert Mitchell Boy Choir as the Ranger troop accompanies Blondie (the lovely Penny Singleton) in a song used to help a Great Dane perform at the dog show. The result is a free-for-all with William Frawley ending up at the bottom of the pile. And Chin-Up-White-Tie-For-Dinner wins the prize, beating a Mr. Pincus' dog. Of course Pincus is an important client for Mr. Dithers' company. Pincus is furious and Dagwood as in many of these films almost loses his job. Blondie as usual sorts the whole mess out.
