Just 15 months after the film's premier, Pearl Harbor was attacked and the U.S. entered WWII.

When he returned to films in 1975 after a 30-year hiatus, Burns won the 1975 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in The Sunshine Boys. He later starred in the title role in Oh, God! (1977) and appeared in Going in Style (1979) and 18 Again! (1988). The comedian, who was honored in television specials celebrating his 90th and 95th birthdays, also wrote Gracie, A Love Story (1988) and 100 Years, 100 Stories (1996).

In 1939, he was cast as Sherlock Holmes in The Hound of the Baskervilles, the first of 14 screen appearances and many radio shows as Conan Doyle's master detective.

He starred on TV in Robert Taylor's Detectives (1959-1962) and succeeded friend Ronald Reagan as host of Death Valley Days (1966-1968).
