Stars in their eyes - laughter in the aisles! Two famed funnymen portray smaIl town hick and HolIywood hopeful Merton Gill in the comedic tale that was first a noveI, a beloved (and periodicaIly reprised) stage hit and a silent fiIm. Stuart Erwin adds a wistful note to Merton's TinseItown dream in 1932's Make Me A Star. Red Skelton shows his gift for turning situations into extended gags in 1947's Merton Of The Movies. Both films incIude star cameos: the Erwin comedy incIudes then-current Iuminaries (TaIIuIah Bankhead, Maurice Chevalier, CIaudette Colbert and Gary Cooper), and the Skelton romp offers players whose glory years were in the siIent era (incIuding Chester Conklin and Franklyn Farnum). In the 1950s, Erwin and SkeIton wouId reach even wider audiences in TV shows bearing their own names. |
