The Fuller Brush Man (1948)

Сюжет кино: I ordered this movie because I remember seeing it and the Yellow Cab Man in the '60s on Million Dollar Movie (NYC's Channel 9, right after supper). I laughed like an idiot back then and it's just about as funny today. Here is a movie you can watch with your kids and not have to worry about sex, violence and bad language. Really, think about it, how many movies can you say that about today. I really like the fact that Red Skelton never went dirty in his humor and when you see this film, you will know why he never had to - he was a great physical comedian. And despite the age of the movie, today's kids will actually get the gags. Unlike the Stooges, the slap stick scenes are fast paced and often done on a grand scale (there is a great chase sequence in a warehouse that is priceless). The thing about slap stick, when done right, is that once you get laughing, you're hooked. The plot is classic '40s good vs. evil and unlike a lot of movies today, good wins. And the bad guys go to jail. And Red gets the girl. And they live happily ever after. If you have kids or are a big kid yourself, do yourself a favor and order this one. It is one funny movie.
