Oh, My Operation (1931)
*** (out of 4)
George Burns is in the hospital recovering from an operation when he gets into an interesting discussion on why he had the operation in the first place. From here the nurse (Gracie Allen) decides to try and teach him a few things.
OH, MY OPERATION isn't the greatest film that Burns and Allen made but it's certainly an entertaining one and one that their fans will enjoy. What works best about the film is once again how Allen can come across as so dumb and not catch the various insults being thrown her way by Burns. There were several very good gags done throughout the short and there's also a funny bit between Burns and his doctor who explains why you need to operate on a person in order to see if they need an operation.
