The Good Bad Egg

About This Movie

The Good Bad Egg is a 1947 comedy short from Columbia Pictures. Directed by a skilled team, this film features Joe DeRita in a humorous tale about an inventor and a marriage proposal written on an egg.

This film is part of the lesser-celebrated Columbia All-Star Comedy shorts series and holds a niche appeal among collectors, particularly those who appreciate the unique comedic styles of the late 1940s. It’s not as readily available as some other titles from this era, often popping up in auction sites or secondhand stores, so collectors are usually on the lookout. The variety in formats, from 16mm prints to VHS releases, adds to its charm, but original prints are becoming increasingly hard to find.
