directed by George Sidney
featuring Kathryn Grayson, Mickey Rooney, Gene Kelly, Judy Garland, Mary Astor, Richard "Red" Skelton, Eleanor Powell, John Boles, Ann Sothern, José Iturbi

Storywise, Thousands Cheer is thin stuff indeed. Insouciant PFC Eddy Marsh (Gene Kelly) wants to put on a Big Show for his fellow serviceman.

The principal selling angle of Thousands Cheer is the presence in the ...

directed by Roy Del Ruth
featuring Richard "Red" Skelton, Lucille Ball, Gene Kelly, Virginia O'Brien, Zero Mostel, Rags Ragland

The racy, ribald Cole Porter musical Du Barry Was a Lady is here given a thorough dry-cleaning by prudish MGM. Richard "Red" Skelton takes over the role of Louis Blore (played on Broadway by Bert Lahr), while Lucille Ball steps into the shoes of the original play's Ethel Merman. The story proposes that Blore is a men's room attendant in a New York ...

MGM's new musical screen team of Esther Williams and Howard Keel were given plenty to do in the pleasant if unambitious songfest Texas Carnival.

directed by Jack Donohue
featuring Richard "Red" Skelton, Arlene Dahl, Ann Miller

Watch the Birdie is a remake of Buster Keaton's The Cameraman; in fact, Keaton served as technical advisor, though it seems that most of his advice went unheeded. Red Skelton stars as photo-shop proprietor Rusty Cameron, who dreams of becoming an ace cinematographer. This gets him mixed up with a gang of crooked land developers, headed by ...
