Jim Backus dressed as Mr. Magoo

From Mooch Goes To Hollywood (1971), the tale of a canine starlet who tries to make it big.

Backus co-wrote, co-produced and co-starred in this cameo swollen oddity. Here we see him in a fake recording session for a fake Magoo knockoff, a freakish fantasy beach slo-mo run in full get-up (including not at all disturbing tights) towards Mooch (played by Benji #1), followed up by a little ode to Mooch from Sonny Curtis, all of it lovingly narrated by Zsa Zsa Gabor.

This is not the only time that Jimmy Backus dressed up as a live action version of his cartoon counterpart"Mr.Quincy Magoo". He dressed up as "Magoo"on some installments of The Heater/Quigley/NBC TV Kids game show"The Storybook Squares"in the late 1960's.

Strange and wonderful. Thanks for putting this up. I miss Magoo. "Roadhog!" LOL :-)

Scene is rather corny, but it is a nice to see people being kind to animals..

[USFella]

Whoever said Hollywood is glamorous apparently never watched the indignities suffered by Jim Backus in this clip.

[stargate121]

Who could argue with THAT!!

[NeoSquirrel]

Oh the humanity of it all.

Still, better arm candy than anything carries around... and promptly infects with sixteen different contagions.
