SO YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR HAIR

(orig. released Dec. 7, 1946)

Joe loses some of his hair after taking a shower and looks into every baldness pseudo-cure ever inflicted upon man.

We're back to spot gags again. Most of them are pretty good, though eventually Joe's paranoia every time he sees a bald guy gets a little overdone. The best part of the movie is the montage of "food treatments" that, when applied to scalps, prevent baldness -- olive oil, beer, salads, etc. Five points off, though, for the movie's then-common stereotypes of Indians and black men.
