YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Lb3LjKbXnQ A hilariously lame 1948 Christmas film featuring a Punch and Judy puppet show that will leave you wondering, "Were drugs really that intense in the 1940s?", and actors and actresses that likely also got a hold of said drugs.
Here is Punch and Judy professor/historian Geoff Felix's (http://www.geofffelix.com/) description of the film:
"The value of this film is that it is a record of a performance by George Prentice whose Punch and Judy show achieved great popularity in Variety during the 1930's. The action is slick, fast and furious and incorporates several animal characters made by the performer.
This slapstick style is not everyone's cup of tea and the children appear to have been filmed at a different time, but the delicacy of manipulation, combined with its speed, make this a must for connoisseurs of Punch and Judy.
Several Punch men have rated this show the best to have come from the States.
I believe he (Prentice) had help from the Larsons (also called Pinxy) but that he made the puppets himself. He appeared at the Palladium in London and also in Paris as well as having given a performance for the then Prince of Wales."
