It's in the Bag
Fred Allen, the laconic wit of radio's Golden Age, incorporated some of his best routines and favorite comic partners into his second film, It's in the Bag. Allen not only revived his legendary feud with Jack Benny, king of the misers, but invited into the fray Robert Benchley, Jerry Colonna, William Bendix, and the Benny/Allen radio foil, Mrs. Nussbaum. The screenplay, written by Allen and Alma Reville (Mrs. Alfred Hitchcock), is a burlesque of the Hollywood mystery thriller.
