Kuka, Fran & Ollie Go Full Post-Mortem

A couple months ago, I posted the wonderful Kukla, Fran and Ollie production of “The Mikado,” which they aired on June 7, 1950.  (And I posted here.) This comes from the show the very next day – when the Kuklapolitans and Fran do a post-mortem of the operetta.  It all starts full of glorious praise…but soon gets detailed in criticism of almost everything, including the camerawork and how the music director wore his hat, as well as Fletcher Rabbit’s diction, Gilbert & Sullivan’s writing, Fran forgetting some words and more, as it all devolves into a disarray of sniping.)  But of course what I most loved was that it all begins with a brief scene between Kukla and my fave, the insane Cecil Bill who speaks no known language.
