Who Wears the Trousers?

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A series about husband-and-wife double acts in American entertainment. 4: George Burns and Grade Allen.
Gracie was originally her husband's straight man, but George quickly realised that it was she who was getting all the laughs. Gracie died tragically young at a time when she was the most recognised and popular comedy performer in America. This programme follows her as she runs for president, becomes a surrealist painter and scores a piano concerto - for one finger. Producer Elizabeth Freestone
