Why the dubbing?
Why did Paul Frees dub the father-in-law's lines?
shareI'm glad you asked that. I was wondering, too. It's rather comical, if you are familiar with Frees' voice. Not quite as funny as the mannequin head and Vi's head sitting on the end table.
It reminds me of the 'Twiight Zone' episode, 'The Bewitchin' Pool', where voice actress June Foray (Rocket J. Squirrel) does the little girl's voice.
I was wondering the same thing! I watched this movie for the first time today after seeing it recommended on TCM's YouTube channel. So I came here to find out about it and liked the review. A low-budget treat! Maybe the father-in-law had a strong accent are a voice like Mike Tyson.
