This short comedy begins with Leon (Leon Errol) being awakened by is butler*. Apparently, Leon had been out all night living it up...and has a massive hangover. He also apparently brought home some new friends...including a fan dancer! Well, the wife is out of town and won't be back for a few days so Leon decides to have fun with these friends. Unfortunately, the wife arrives home early...and he tells her it's his uncle and niece! What's next? See the film.
This film is pretty typical for the Errol comedies...with Leon being a weasel who is trying to put something over on his wife. It's interesting that I watched this one immediately after his "Girls! Girls! Girls!"--one where Leon is mistaken as a manager for a fan dancer! Here in "Say Uncle", there is, once again, a fan dancer!
So is it any good? Absolutely. All of the Leon Errol shorts I have seen are fun and feature this Australian comic getting in and out of trouble. Nothing exactly brilliant here...but well made and clever.
*While I have only seen 30-40 of Leon Errol's shorts (he made far more), I was surprised to see him with a butler. I never saw that before...and usually he plays a guy who is a bit more down to earth.
