The Jetsons were the very first family, animated or not, to have a big-screen home entertainment system decades before it became a reality. They also had flying cars, floating cities a ..."
""Der Liebes-Impuls im Menschen," sagt ein Psychiater in Leoparden küsst man nicht, "kommt häufig in Konfliktsituationen zum Vorschein". Das dürfte wohl sicher sein. Um Zündstoff in die klassische Screwball-Komödie zu bringen, ist in der Regel nichts besser geeignet, als Liebe und Konflikte eng miteinander zu verbinden. Ein spießiger Paläontologe verliert einen Dinosaurierknochen an den Hund der freimütigen Erbin Katherine Hepburn. Bei d ..."

"Blondie Knows Best was writer/director Edward Bernds' first entry in the long-running "Blondie" series, and arguably his funniest.

The upshot of all this is that Dagwood ends up in a lunatic asylum, forcing Blondie ( ..."
