"Six of a Kind" was a comedy full of puns and comedic misunderstandings. For instance, George Edward (George Burns) and Gracie Devore (Gracie Allen) replied to an ad in the paper for a couple to be traveling companions to California. The Whinneys wanted to travel with a couple to save money. The Whinneys wound up spending more money than what they would've by themselves.
Why?
Because Gracie understood the "to save money" part to be for the couple who answered the ad (i.e. They travel for free and save money).
Those were the kind of jokes and humor to be found in the movie.
The plot was so-so. J. Pinkham Whinney (Charles Ruggles) and Flora Whinney (Mary Boland) were all set to go on a second honeymoon to California. Before they could depart they added George and Gracie to their car while one of J. Pinkham's coworkers at the bank added $50,000 of stolen money to J. P.'s luggage. The Whinneys were being driven crazy by George and Gracie, and at the same time they were totally unaware that the cops were after them.
"Six of a Kind" wasn't my kind of comedy. It was very Marx Brothers-ish which I don't find funny at all. I did appreciate seeing a young George Burns though. My only memories of George Burns were from the 80's when he was already an old man.
