It's Bert Lahr alright, the Cowardly Lion; but the comedian's name is Red SKELTON

@glennt21601 lol, another dreamer about a world that never existed. There was as much garbage back then as there is today. For every movie like this with a few good musical numbers, there were dozens made that weren't worth a quarter. This one isn't much itself without the fine musical performances.

@DrHemlock94022 He may have had the highest earnings and gross audience and theres all sorts of societal reasons that could explain that but he was "Hardly the Finest Drummer by any Stretch of the Imagination". Not Even Close.
99 years today since the birth of Eleanor Powell. Thanks Eleanor for all the exhilarating happiness you provided the world with your craft.
