The 42yearold comedian had suffered a series of minor strokes several months prior to filming, and his performances in their Columbia shorts at that time were often halting and slow. By the time of Swing Parade of 1946, he had lost a considerable amount of weight, and lines had creased his face. The scene where he recreates the maze of pipes from A Plumbing We Will Go 1940 has been described as sluggish and lethargic. ........
