Let George Do It is a 1938 comedy starring popular stage comedian George Wallace. It was the first of two films Wallace made for Ken G. Hall at Cinesound Productions, the other one being Gone to the Dogs (1939).[3] Hall later called Wallace "in my opinion, easily the best comedian that this country has produced."[4]
