    Where to Watch

George Kelly's hilarious play, "The Torch Bearers," about the effect amateur theatrical success has on a housewife. Will Rogers, Billie Burke, Alison Skipworth, Sterling Holloway, Andrew Tombes, Gail Patrick, Frank Albertson, Frances Grant, Helen Flint. Directed by David Butler.

A comedy about a blundering amateur theater production. Rogers is the husband of Burke, who has gotten the lead in the local production. He disapproves, but the show must go on. The best laughs come on opening night with scenery falling, actors forgetting their lines, and wardrobe goof-ups. DOUBTING THOMAS was out in the theaters when Rogers was killed in a plane crash in Alaska. (Loose remake of the 1922 silent film THE TORCH BEARERS.)
