There's a lot going on in this breezy and amusing outing. Title "Blondie's Big Moment" refers to her saving the day in making amends with Dagwood's new boss Mr.. Radcliffe, and getting Dag's position and office back. There is also a mute little boy "Slugger", whose baseball field will be taken away by Radcliffe's client as a building site for his drug manufacturing headquarters, if Dagwood is to keep his job and office. Alvin's new teacher, Miss Gary, is taking Alvin's class to Dagwood's non-existent office to see what does on in big downtown offices.
By the way, Jerome Cowan is perfect in his role a the new boss and crucial to my high opinion of this entry in the Dagwood series.
Jelly donuts ("bismarks" in the Midwest) have a recurring part in the slapstick elements, as well as a twist on the usual mailman clash (or crash) at the Bumstead house, and the whole film is peppered with clever lines.
There is a surprise ending involving Slugger and his family background and Mr. Radcliffe, which of course leads to Dagwood's eventual success and a happy ending for all.
