Robert Cummings co-produced this series and starred as Robert S. Beanblossom, an unsophisticated and meek real-estate salesperson. Julie Bishop co-stars and plays his fictional wife in order to connive a photo layout of a model house for Modern America magazine.
Cliché comedy and contrived comedic situations are the foundation rather than reality. This may have been amusing during 1952 but it barely rates a chuckle in the 21st Century.
However, it is interesting to watch Bob Cummings play a male model and be seduced by a sexy, blonde, female photographer especially since that would be a major element in reverse during his next series.
This episode was later syndicated under the title "Lady Editor" which doesn't make much sense other than the fact that Julie Bishop hustles a second magazine layout for the house after Bob accidentally destroys the negatives from the first photo session.
Historically, this seems like the genesis for the Bob Cummings show and therefore is important for fans of Bob Cummings and television historians. Otherwise, it offers little entertainment.
