His character in this is Wilbur McMurtry, traveling salesman held prisoner by a small town so they can force him to run in their annual foot race against a neighboring town. Donald is quite hilarious in it, as well as endearing, needless to say!
Wonderful!! Donald is so brilliant. I have a poster of him in costume for this part. The dancing 'shadow' on the screen is actually his dance coach Louis DaPron, head choreographer at Universal for years and years. Thank you for posting this!
@Dejay4 I'd be happy to - TCM has it as part of a boxed set - you couldn't buy it separately so.... the other movie is with Fred MacMurray, but I bought it just for Donald. It's on their website or you can call 1-888-4MOVIES. You'll get Movies Unlimited. They've partnered with TCM. I first saw it advertised on the TCM channel. I hope they come out with some more. I've got the big ones which are so fabulous, but I'd also like some earlier ones, like The Milkman.
@Dejay4 I'd really like Walking My Baby Back Home. It came after Singin' and the same year as Call Me Madam. It sounds very romantic and Donald is terrific, of course! Love, Donald!!!!!!:))))))))))))
@faith4094 The Milkman looks so cute! I've only seen a couple clips of it on here, but the Early Morning Song routine is amazing! I would love to get that one and Walking My Baby Back Home :) Thank you so much for your info.!
@Dejay4 Oh, it doesn't say the name of the movie on this clip - sorry! It's called Feudin', Fussin', and A-Fightin' and it's set in the Old West. :)))))
This perfectly matches my neighbour upstairs, a shadow that moves wherever I move(creepy)?
