So This is Washington (1943)

An American comedy directed by Ray McCarey.
An old man who runs a general store in a rural area invents a new type of rubber. Together with his co-worker, they go to Washington D.C. to present the idea to a government official. When they arrive, they have trouble finding a place to spend the night, but soon meet someone who will take them where they need to go. When they are getting ready to present the idea, the inventor suffers amnesia from a blow to the head and can't remember anything.
It wasn't bad. The simple plot was communicated clearly and the characters were alright. The style was of the time in which it was made and the pacing kept things moving. Editing and continuity seemed fine. The audio had treble bias and dead air hiss combining to make that "nails on a chalk board" sound so often associated with old films. I'm rating it o.k. If you want something to watch, this will kill some time just fine.
