Blogathon: "Just Imagine" (1930) part 2

You can let out a sigh of relief: El Brendel has arrived! A friend of mine said he thought the guy who played the "Philip J Frye" role in this movie would get annoying really quickly. He was referring to El Brendel, and you'd think his broad vaudevillian schtick would get old, but it hasn't yet.

The funniest moment thus far is when he gets upset after realizing he was no longer a member of the Elks.

As you can see above, the set design was amazing. "Just Imagine" was nominated for an Academy Award for set design. Also, there's some interesting trivia about the movie here at the IMDb.
