Interesting Idea But Too Much Talk
23 May 2021
Everyone in the family has a hobby, except for Henry O'Neill, who is too busy editing the local paper. When new owners insist on a policy of sensationalism, he resists and finds his job in peril, so he takes his new camera and son Jackie Moran and his ham radio set-up on a camping trip, only to find a forest fire.

It's a high-speed Warners B movie, timing in at 54 minutes, and while the fire is well shot, there is too much chatter of random random facts, offered by Aldrich Bowker, whose hobby is statistics. Apparently this was projected as the first of a series to compete with the family comedy series at other studios. It never cme off, despite a fine cast including Irene Rich as O'Neill's wife.
