Soundie - Joe Smith and Charlie Dale, Comedy Team 1941

Part of a collection of Soundies found at an estate sale that belonged to a guy who used to do maintenance on the Scopitone film juke boxes. The collection contained several 40 minute reels with a number of Soundies included. This Soundie features legendary comedy team of Joe Smith (born Joseph Sultzer) and Charlie Dale (Charles Marks) recorded this soundie in 1941. Neil Simon's play "The Sunshine Boys", later filmed with Walter Matthau and George Burns, is said to be loosely based on Smith and Dale's fractious relationship. Despite their differences, they formed a working act for more than seventy years. (Info update provided by: Gov Bud Hudnut)
