Interesting facts

Alibi Bye Bye is a 1935 comedy short directed by Ben Holmes and released by RKO Radio Pictures. It is notable as the final film appearance of the comedy team of Bobby Clark and Paul McCullough.

Production history

Bobby Clark and Paul McCullough worked in circuses, vaudeville and on Broadway for two decades before they came to Hollywood to star in a series of short films. They first worked for Fox Pictures from 1929 to 1930 and then at RKO Radio Pictures from 1931 to 1935. The duo made 21 films at RKO.

Alibi Bye Bye, with its suggestive humor regarding adultery, ran afoul with the Kansas Board of Review, the state's motion picture censorship board. "Eliminate all indecent reactions of Clark after seeing a woman," wrote the board after screening the film, noting Bobby Clark's lascivious reactions to a pretty chambermaid in the film. "These are tom cat growls and pawing of earth. They occur several times in both reels."
