Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Red Skelton runs and jumps onto the fire truck, it is a reenactment of a Buster Keaton gag from The Cameraman (1928).
- GoofsWhen Rusty is in the doctor's office, he starts to open the door to the dressing room. In the next shot from inside the dressing room, he opens the door again.
- Quotes
Rusty Cammeron: [Grandpop and Rusty have just finished watching Clark Gable in "Boom Town"] Grandpa, I couldn't bring myself to slap a woman.
Grandpop Cammeron: In your case, it's a necessity.
Rusty Cammeron: Well, supposing they don't go for it?
Grandpop Cammeron: You've got to assert your masculine dominance; if she takes it, that's love.
Rusty Cammeron: Well, what if she slaps back?
Grandpop Cammeron: That, my boy, is marriage.
- Crazy creditsSimilar to the Fred Allen film "It's In the Bag," Skelton narrates the opening credits, cracking jokes about the cast, crew, and even the title itself ("Please tell your friends. We'd like to make a little money on this picture.").

Featured review
You'll see Red --
---and see him in three roles in this B / W comedy of his. His first is the lead role of Rusty a bumbling photographer who is trying to save the family business; his father a rather old fashioned and quiet guy that might be Rusty one day if not for his Grandfather (the third role), a playboy a heart, who shows Rusty how to handle a woman properly. The special shots of the three of them and even two of the same characters are great and there is no blurring screen or noticeable break in the film.
This film may be only for Skelton fans, of which I am not really one, but I did found a lot of the routines here funny (especially a scene in a Dr.'s change room) and did laugh out loud at some of Skelton's delivery and timing. The girls are great - Arlene Dahl and Ann Miller. They have their share of gags, though Miller is quite far the funniest of the pair. Some tributes to old movies are obvious, especially in the final chase scene. The only scene people might find objectionable today is where Grandpa tells Rusty how to handle and keep a woman by showing him old Clark Gable and Robert Taylor movies.
This is great preservation of a moment in cinema history.
