So This Is Harris!	comment	So This Is Harris! is a 1933 short film (28 minutes) directed by Mark Sandrich.It focuses on Phil Harris, now thoroughly forgotten, then a well-known singer and bandleader. The film opens with a married couple going to see Harris perform at the Cocoanut Grove nightclub in Los Angeles. It is established that Harris is The Casanova (a newspaper report says "Husband names Harris in suit for divorce") who attracts hordes of women to the Cocoanut Grove.One of Phil's fans is a married woman named Dorothy. Dorothy's boring, ineffectual husband Walter is highly annoyed by his wife's frenzied devotion to Harris. One day Dorothy's friend Lillian gets word that Phil Harris is spending the afternoon hitting the links at the Hollywood Golf Club. Dorothy and Lillian make haste for the golf club—but what they don't know is that Walter is also playing golf there.Three years after this film's release Harris began his long run on radio's The Jack Benny Program, and decades later he found work as a voice artist for Disney animation, most famously voicing Baloo in The Jungle Book (1967) and Little John in Robin Hood (1973).

So This Is Harris! / int_1420a9b8	comment	Scenery Censor: The most surprising scene in this surprisingly dirty movie is in the showers at the golf club. As Phil Harris in his shower stall croons about, uh, singing in the shower, all the hot girls in the Groupie Brigade wriggle and dance in their stalls. The camera slowly pans down a line of naked women in shower stalls, their naughty bits hidden by a modesty wall.

So This Is Harris! / int_18d15922	type	Title Drop
So This Is Harris! / int_18d15922	comment	Title Drop: The phrase "so this is Harris!" is repeated several times. The husband in the opening sequence says it ruefully after realizing his wife has the hots for Phil Harris. The groupies at the country club say it in unison after talking about how much they want him. And Dorothy mutters it in her sleep, much to her husband's displeasure.

So This Is Harris! / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: In the first scene with Walter and Dorothy she kisses him behind the ear, and because he's a jerk he complains in an obnoxious manner about what an odd habit that is. At the end Phil asks Walter if there's any lipstick behind his ear, and Walter realizes to his horror just who the groupie with Phil was.

So This Is Harris! / int_2479b6c0	comment	Your Television Hates You: Walter is ranting at the golf course about how much he hates Phil Harris (in the presence of Phil Harris of course). He's annoyed by someone playing Phil Harris on a phonograph. He puts a stop to that, but then is infuriated by someone playing Phil Harris on a car radio. He puts a stop to that, only for a goddamn blimp to fly overhead playing Phil Harris over loudspeakers as a promotion.

So This Is Harris! / int_2f694f85	comment	Idiosyncratic Wipe: The film transitions from the nightclub to the golf course by covering the top and bottom of the screen until there's a thin horizontal line across the middle. Then the line turns 90 degrees until it's vertical, then it pulls back left and right to open the golf club segment. Another wipe has the new scene, of Phil and Walter out on the links, sort of drip down over the old scene of the groupies practicing their golf swings.

The old golfer at the club gives a entendre-laden golf lesson to the hot ladies in which he emphasizes the importance of "form" while making the standard 'hourglass figure' gesture. All the golf groupies then go through a golf lesson that seems to mainly consist of striking provocative poses. One lady teeing up while vigorously wiggling her bottom says "Go ahead and swing that thing" before swinging her golf club.

At the cry of "It's a boy!", Walter suddenly stops and looks horrified. The "So this is Harris" music plays in a comic minor key, suggesting the possibility that Phil might be the father of Dorothy's baby.

In one scene Walter smashes the radio at the club gym to smithereens, to stop it playing Phil Harris, when the song is actually Phil Harris himself singing in the shower.
