# Phony News Flashes (1955)

A collection of newsreel spoofs. Among them, a house with some special features for the mother-in-law, an egg-eating champion who speaks fluent chicken, a slow-motion view of a spitball pitcher, a toothpaste with unfortunate side effects, a look at a heavenly body from Mt. Wilson observatory, a speaker is unconcerned with alien invasions, a circus performer retires from diving into wet anvils, a dog that does income taxes, and an anti-noise campaign in a small town.
