The still alarm by george s kaufman


The Still Alarm (1930) is a short film starring comedians Fred Allen and Clifton Webb, and directed by Roy Mack. The film was based on a skit by George S. Kaufman and released by Warner Brothers as a Vitaphone film. Allen was a Vaudeville comedian, but in 1929 sound films destroyed the Vaudeville market.

This film represented a rare teaming of Allen and Webb. A year earlier Allen acted in a short film titled The Installment Collector. This 10-minute film occupied one reel and still survives.

In 1934 Allen started his own radio show, with his wife Portland Hoffa, but made few other films himself.
