Burns and Allen -- George Owes Money for Phone Calls

George Burns and Gracie Allen bring their golden-age comedy to the air, and this 1940 outing finds George stuck with a pile of telephone charges -- until Gracie's wonderfully tangled logic about who really owes the money turns a simple phone bill into a full-blown comic runaround. With swing from Artie Shaw and his orchestra and close harmony from the Smoothies, it's a breezy half-hour of vintage laughs.
