THIS IS<br />
BOX-OFFICE!<br />
It<br />
happens only occasionally that a picture comes to the screen so rich<br />
in all the values of audience appeal, story, performance, humor, action,<br />
heart-throb, background that one may truthfully say: "Everything clicked!"<br />
This is the story of a comic, once a Ziegfeld star, who is lifted from the<br />
low estate to which he has fallen by the faith and love of his<br />
young son.<br />
Red Skelton contributes to the Screen Hall of Fame a masterful performance,<br />
a role<br />
that ranges from hilarious to heart-breaking, a characterization<br />
which takes him from the category of screen comedian to actor<br />
extraordinary. And as though inspired by this history-making delineation,<br />
a youngster named Tim Considine delivers in his first screen appearance<br />
a job that will zoom him to fame and stardom.<br />
This picture truly has everything. It is a great show to see and to hear. It<br />
combines heart appeal with uproarious fun; it is a triumph of showmanship<br />
for showmen who know and understand that THIS IS BOX-OFFICE!<br />
