So, 'Whose Baby Are You?' is this quirky little comedy from 1936 that really dives into the chaos surrounding childbirth in a small-town drugstore. You've got George Haggerty, a druggist who's caught in a financial pickle, balancing his wife's impending delivery and a cash flow crisis. The film carries a light-hearted tone, with a nice blend of absurd situations and relatable stress. Bert Lahr's performance adds a nice touch of humor, and the pacing keeps you engaged without dragging. It’s not your typical comedy, more of a slice-of-life with a unique twist that showcases the era's charm, though it’s no cinematic masterpiece, it has its own peculiar appeal.
This film isn't the easiest to track down on physical media, which adds to its allure for collectors. It was released in several formats over the years, but early editions are notably scarce. Interest tends to spike for those looking to complete their collections of obscure 1930s comedies, as it provides a unique glimpse into the genre's evolution and the societal quirks of that time.
