Phil Harris and Alice Faye

A Job with Rexall for Willie

English

Phil Harris and Alice Faye star as fictionalized versions of themselves in a warm, music-filled radio comedy. Phil is a bandleader with a breezy, self-confident manner, while Alice is his quick-witted wife, often ready with a sharp reply when his schemes or boasts get the better of him.

The program blends domestic comedy with musical performances, drawing on Phil’s bandleader persona and Alice’s singing. Their household and show-business life provide the setting for comic misunderstandings, playful arguments, and the couple’s affectionate back-and-forth. Supporting characters add to the lively world around them.

Easygoing and character-driven, the series pairs conversational humor with popular music. Its appeal lies in the contrast between Phil’s cheerful bluster and Alice’s grounded wit, making it a relaxed listen for fans of classic radio comedy and musical entertainment.
