Trivia
The $100 Edgar was charged for a new water heater would equal $1,748.40 in 2018, adjusted for inflation. Likewise, the $39.95 Edgar spends on the "outlaw" second-hand heater would equal $698.48 in 2018 dollars. Finally, the $800 in damages Edgar causes by "fixing it himself" would equal roughly $13,987.18.

Errores
The gardener accidentally burns his foot in hot water and runs from the house, then two minutes later a lawyer shows up to tell Edgar about the lawsuit being brought on him by the gardener because of the accident. This means that within the span of two minutes, Mr. Garabaldi sought medical attention, sought out a lawyer, said lawyer wrote up the suit and tracked down Edgar, which would be impractical and impossible.

Edgar Kennedy made a string of domestic comedy shorts for RKO in the 1930s and 40s. Most he made with Florence Lake (uggh!!) and Vivian Oakland. This one, however, has Sally Payne playing his beleaguered wife--as did in a few of his films (such as "Westward Ho Hum"). It's odd, but Edgar seemed to have three distinctly separate families in these films!!

"I'll Fix It" begins with Edgar begin told he needs a new hot water heater for $100. However, he's playing his usual hot-head and swears to do the job himself and save money. Naturally, nothing goes right and in the end it ends up costing a small fortune.

I liked this short--mostly because it had a nice premise and focused mostly on Edgar--not his family. His reactions were very nice and the film was well made. I wish the rest of the Kennedy shorts were this good and some of the Vivian Oakland ones were.
