Look Magazine Movie Awards Show

After two sketches parodying scenes from award-winning movies, Red Skelton works as the emcee for Look Magazine, presenting awards to Walt Disney, Judy Garland, Jack Lemmon, and Bing Crosby, among many others

Look Awards – The Red Skelton Show season 4

Red pretends to be a sore loser, since he won’t be receiving any of the awards. And he presents a couple of spoofs on how he would have played the roles:

Spoofing Marlon Brando’s character in On the Waterfront

Red Skelton explains to bartender James Gonzales that he's tough too…
I’m tough too …
Confronting Big Jim
Confronting Big Jim

Then, he spoofs Bing Crosby’s performance as an alcoholic actor — for not being plastered enough, using his Willie Lump Lump character.
