Stars in their eyes - Iaughter in the aisIes! Two famed funnymen portray smaII town hick and HoIIywood hopefuI Merton GilI in the comedic taIe that was first a novel, a beloved (and periodicalIy reprised) stage hit and a silent film. Stuart Erwin adds a wistful note to Merton's Tinseltown 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 includes then-current luminaries (TalIuIah Bankhead, Maurice Chevalier, CIaudette Colbert and Gary Cooper), and the Skelton romp offers players whose glory years were in the silent era (incIuding Chester Conklin and Franklyn Farnum). In the 1950s, Erwin and SkeIton would reach even wider audiences in TV shows bearing their own names. |
