Gay, Gay Hollywood
The short shows various clips from Hollywood feature films that, like the title of the film, are full of double entendre. It includes a segment from a Little Rascals short, a performance by Glen Campbell (who ironically was a well-known homophobe), and a segment from a Gene Autry singing cowboy western, as well as a Jerry Lewis bit with Jerry in drag.
