Name: Bashful Buddies
Genre: Short
Released: 1936-08-07
Duration: 17 min
Rating: 5.3
Cast: Pat Rooney Jr., Tim Herbert, Arthur Jarrett

Pat Rooney Jr. And Herman Timberg Jr. Want to get engaged, but through the sort of mix-up that happens in short comedy, Timberg winds up engaged to both girls and eating roast beef and tomato soup in two apartments in the same building.

It's moderately well done under the direction of longtime comedy pro William Watson. The two fellows also do some eccentric dancing, and one of the girls plays the piano and sings. It's slightly underwritten for two reels, but I suppose the folks at Educational thought the boys had enough personality to carry the picture. Timberg later had a supporting actor career under the name of Tim Herbert.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.

Pals Herman and Pat, with diamond rings in hand, are all set to make marriage proposals. Pat is bashful, however, so Herman broaches the subject to Pat's girl. The girl's parents think Herman is the suitor, and invite him to dinner. Meanwhile, Herman's own prospective in-laws are hosting a dinner, too, so Herman and Pat dash from one dining room to the other, trying to straighten things out.
