This is SO underrated. Besides the intriguing topic itself, I'm struck by the quality and organization of presentations from this era. Thank you to whoever uploaded. Also 25:38 - if only he was right! 😭
The voice is a loose comedic knock off of a pre-war Vaudeville, Broadway, and movie comedian named W.C. Fields. Fields had a drawl similar to the one used here in the film and Fields was famous for his comedic asides to the audience after finishing a thought. He was a huge movie comedian in the early days of talking films, a lot of times playing an irascible but loveable drunk or "old timer" caught up in circumstance.
