THE WACKY FAMILY [1936] - Tim and Irene Ryan

[@DGRYAN1977]

Thanks for uploading all these videos of my Uncle Tim. I’ve never seen these before. I would love to get these on dvd or as a file to save

[@markfurman4386]

So the eventual star Irene Ryan, famous as Granny Clampett of The Beverly Hillbillys, was your aunt?

[@DGRYAN1977]

@@markfurman4386 Yes. Tim is my grandfathers brother.

[@rachelmckinney6967]

First time I've ever seen Tim. So handsome!!!

[@colindeer9657]

Wow, from all that time ago 20 years before I was born. A great comedy I thought. Many thanks for this gem. Cheers

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

All these movie shorts I never knew existed until I discovered this channel. Thanks from Canada!

[@ShadowsOnTheScreen]

This started out really strong, but I think it ended up being a little more mean spirited than I expected. I am glad to have gotten to watch it though, and I thank you for posting it!

[@Verge63]

Granny never became a mother or granny in real life.

[@CraigFThompson]

And I'll readily agree that's extremely unfortunate....

[@a.i.liebson3287]

Neither did Betty Jo Bradley

[@rudyriccio634]

Before she was granny

[@moorek1967]

That lady with the dogs looks and sounds like Harriet MacGibbon who played as Margaret Drysdale. This lady's name is Lyda Kane, who apparently was a different actress but MacGibbon was married to William Kane.

I knew it! I knew it! Irene was pretty under all her character costumes. 🥰🥰🥰

The wackiest comedy short with Tim and Irene Ryan ever made😅.

[@bojackson5201]

Anyone else recognize the soldier outfit? Looks like the soldiers uniform at the witches castle in wizard of oz which came out 3 years after this. Same wardrobe department?

[@CraigFThompson]

Possibly even the same sound stage(s) or other production facilities, including personnel.

2 elevator doors and a wall 😂😂

[@scotnick59]

Irene was 34 here.

[@CraigFThompson]

And maintained her foxiness all the way to her inglorious exit from this life....😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

" and that's a wrap Gentlemen"

[@gwenniegirl50]

Irene and Tim were married in 1922 later divorced in 1943. In this movie, Irene uses a version of her last name, Noblette. Irene’s actual last name was spelled Noblitt. I’m not sure at what point she took her married name for use as her professional name.

Odd film. Just odd. Lol 😂 thanks for sharing

[@craigcorson3036]

From the days before comedy was invented, I suppose.

[@CraigFThompson]

"Invented"?! Not by a helluva long shot; comedy's actually a "discovery".

[@craigcorson3036]

@@CraigFThompson You're sort of missing my point.

[@CraigFThompson]

@@craigcorson3036 No I ain't; comedy Is a discovery. It took the "inventions" of movies, radio, and television to make it distributable to the general public in the comfort of their own homes.

[@craigcorson3036]

@@CraigFThompson Yes, you are. You're also muted. See ya!

[@slicktheslickster]

Even in '36 there were bad movies.

[@creativegeenyus1819]

This show really is mean spirited and just trash. Smh

[@CraigFThompson]

At the VERY LEAST, they were creative, and earned a helluva lot of "green" ($)!
