A Neckin' Party is a pretty funny Edgar Bergin and Charlie McCarthy short

This Edgar Bergin and Charlie McCarthy short is one I just watched on the Varsity Show DVD. It begins at a nightclub with McCarthy in his familiar top hat outfit and Edgar in tow doing some funny risqué pick-up lines at a beautiful woman. Then, after Edgar invites Charlie to go to Mexico, they're there (with Charlie in appropriate outfit) with a lovely senorita dancing and her jealous boyfriend. Yes, some flirting goes there too and yes, he confronts that boyfriend. And Edgar also meets Elmer Mortimer Snerd, goofy as ever especially when mentioning three brothers. I'll stop there and just say I liked this one enough to say A Neckin' Party is worth a look.

The Western genre features stories set primarily in the 19th-century American Old West and often depict the rugged frontier life, exploring themes of individualism, justice, morality, and the clash between civilization and the untamed wilderness. The genre has its roots in the historical context of westward expansion and the challenges faced by pioneers, settlers, outlaws, and lawmen.
