![Burns and Allen - Classic Scenes #2 - George & Gracies last musical number together [clip]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sKQoN06HvZE/mqdefault.jpg "Burns and Allen - Classic Scenes #2 - George & Gracies last musical number together [clip]
Heres a great scene from season 6, episode 6 of The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show (Oct 3, 1955). In this episode, George is trying to find backers for a musical version of his book, I Love Her, Thats Why. Everything looks all set till the investors find out George wants to play the lead role.
Here, George and Gracie sing a song based on the books title, in a delightful duet with some charming dancing thrown in. This is a historically significant scene, as its the last musical number George and Gracie ever performed on film together.")
