Figure 1.-- Here the boys (Alvin and Baby Dumpling) meet Dagwood's old girl friend, Joan Forrester (Rita Hayword). She was the glamour queen of the day. Blondie osn't at all impressed. |
|
The Bumsteads have money problems. Dagwood wants to use the available cash to join the Trout Club. Blondie as her hear set on a fur coat. Dagwood plans a surprise for Blondie. Then proverbial fur flies when Dagwoods old girlfriend Joan Forrester unexpectedly makes an appearance. She helps him pick out a fur coat for Blondie. And given that his old girl friend was Rita Hayword, that doesn't go over well at all with Blondie. Rita Hayword was a major glamour star at the time. This film was made before America entered World War II. Rita would become the most important pin-up with GIs posted all over the world.
The problem is resolved when a drawing at the movie theatre finally provides money for Blondie's fur. The boys (Baby Dumpling and Alvin) meat Rita, but I'm not sure how they fit into the plot line. The boys here don;t know quite what to think of Rita.
