《Too Busy to Work (1939)》Storyline
Its sole Academy Award nomination was for Best Song, by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer (lyrics).The film""s mood was captured in the film""s tagline displayed on posters:"You can expect the unexpected when they play.When he entered the storm, he lost contact withOberon(which was receiving a static-filled "Mayday" emergency call reporting extreme turbulence - later it was revealed that they were receiving their own "Mayday" message from the future), and Davidson""s digital year-time indicator rapidly moved forward in time (approximately 600-1,000 years).The body bags of the two Crystal Lake storeowners were being loaded into an ambulance at the crime scene.He was apparently a ""kept man"" in servitude to the miserly, nagging, aging beauty queen - she displayed several nasty personal characteristics: she was a feisty, shrewish, broken-down (invalid and bed-ridden) moll - possibly a retired whore? She complained that she was "nobody""s hunchback," and reminded him of his 24/7 duty to her:You work for me, Lou! The cigarettes you put in your mouth, I pay for.""Inside, Joey walks in on the couple""s heated argument.An offscreen, urban neighbor Larry complains about the noise of the domestic quarrel: "What""s the matter with you up there, you animals?" Jake leans out the window and hollers back with another carnivorous threat - that he""ll eat the neighbor""s dog for lunch.
