Featured review
Enjoyable.
"So You Want to Keep Your Hair" finds our idiotic hero, Joe McDoakes (George O'Hanlon), worried about losing his hair. Being Joe and not some ordinary guy, he of course overreacts and begins doing all sorts of goofy things to prevent hair loss. This leads to the narrator explaining what medical science knows about hair loss and restoration...though McDoakes decides instead to try some quack remedies.
This short is good, but not great. There are a decent number of laughs though none are huge or all that memorable. Overall, a nice time- passer and a film that is pretty typical of the series. As usual, it's written and directed by Richard L. Bare, a man known for directing television shows, in particular "Green Acres" and "Petticoat Junction".
