Ann Sothern loses her job as "the Headless Woman" after accidentally exposing the trick due to the antics of Lew Ayres. A nice Hollywood depiction of the American carnival sideshow of the 1940's. Btw, the first carnival barker in the sequence was played by Joe Yule - Andy Rooney's father.
I met Hans Conried years ago outside the Jack Paar Tonight Show. This is def not him! However; the outside barker was Joe Yule Sr., father of Mickey Rooney, not Andy Rooney. Sr. played Jiggs in the Maggie and Jiggs movie series. Joe
