SO YOU THINK THE GRASS IS GREENER

(orig. released Jan. 28, 1956)

After a morning of nagging from his wife Alice (Jane Frazee), Joe starts to wonder what it would be like to be married to Geraldine (curvy Joi Lansing again), the office blonde. Then Joe's conscience, in the form of "Bad Sam" (George O'Hanlon in a dual role) gives Joe an It's a Wonderful Life-like look at life with Geraldine.

The short's occasional moralizing -- not to mention political incorrectness (let's mentally undress Joi Lansing, shall we?) -- is more than made up for by O'Hanlon's enthusiastic hamminess as Bad Sam. Too bad Joe doesn't let Bad Sam take over his subconscious more often -- he'd probably get farther in life.
