Merton of the Movies
Movie review of Merton of the Movies (1947), starring Red Skelton, Virginia O’Brien
Merton of the Movies is set in the silent movie era of Hollywood. Red Skelton plays the part of Gil Merton, a naive, movie-struck young man. He’s given a chance to be a star …. But he doesn’t realize it. A very funny, and sweet, Red Skelton movie co-starring Virginia O’Brien.

The Fuller Brush Man
The Fuller Brush Man (1948), starring Red Skelton, Janet Blair
In a nutshell, The Fuller Brush Man is one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. Red Skelton is at his finest, both in verbal comedy as well as in physical slapstick galore.

Unfortunately, this leads him to be the witness to a murder, with the police and gangsters following
Frogs – a comedy poem by Red Skelton
Frogs, a poem by Red Skelton, read by Clem Kadiddlehopper
[Editor’s note: Frogs is recited to the cadence of Boots, a famous poem by Rudyard Kipling]

Frogs. Frogs. Frogs croaking fill the air.
Louder. Louder. Louder is their blasting blare
and there’s no silence in the night.
Red Skelton’s Farewell
The time has come to say good night,
My how time does fly.
We ve had a laugh, perhaps a tear,
and now we hear good-bye.
I really hate to say good night,
for times like these are few.
I wish Red Skelton’s Farewell
