Burns and Allen: Recipe For Hollywood Sweetie Pie (1937)

George Burns and Gracie Allen host a New Year's broadcast of their radio series, trading nonsense banter about holiday revelry with Henry King and his orchestra. Tony Martin appears as a guest, and the cast talks about his new visit to New York. Gracie describes a sightseeing tour Constance Wilson gave Tony, and the talk turns to a mink coat he reportedly bought her. Gracie insists on a kiss from Tony Martin as part of a resolution, while the regulars keep up their playful confusion. The episode was broadcast on CBS and NBC radio on January 6, 1937, and features Gracie Allen, Bea Benaderet, Meredith Willson and Mel Blanc in the cast.

With George Burns, Gracie Allen, Henry King, Tony Martin, Constance Wilson.

Listen for: Gracie's literal-minded wordplay during the mink coat discussion, and the running joke about Tony Martin's kiss.
