Believe It or Not #6 (1931)
* 1/2 (out of 4)
The sixth entry in the series has creator Robert L. Ripley returning his to college where he introduces some "believe it or not" stories from around the world. Included here are a few sports stories including a man at Lehigh who ran the length of a football field only to realize he ran the wrong way so he had to turn around and run it again. Other stories include how George Washington really wasn't our first President and how one man spent $100,000 to bury his fly. We also learn that Lincoln was a thief who stole several lines in his Gettysburg Address and we see Ripley draw a portrait of John Paul Jones. This series has always been hit or miss with me and here is another miss. I'm really starting to believe that Ripley was very uncomfortable in front of the camera as he appears very nervous and his delivery of the stories is really bland a lot of times. The stories themselves are mildly interesting but the majority of them are just flat.
