The The Fuller Brush Man-----------------------------------------DOWNLOAD: http://urllio.com/qz6hw -----------------------------------------"Red" Jones attempts to prove himself to his sweetheart, Ann Elliott, by becoming a successful Fuller Brush door-to-door salesman. When one of his clients is murdered, "Red" becomes the number-one suspect by the police. He and Ann escape a trap set by the killer and his henchmen, but are still being chased through a war-surplus warehouse.Poor Red Jones gets fired from every job he tries. His fiancée gives him one last chance to make good when he becomes a Fuller Brush man. His awkward attempts at sales are further complicated when one of his customers is murdered and he becomes the prime suspect.All those wonderful years Red Skelton spent with MGM...lots of funny gags in many of their musicals. But, MGM didn't get comedy movies. They got humor in ,usicals, but they didn't get making movies that were out-and-out comedies. This, however -- when he was lent out to Columbia -- is one of his best comedies.
The plot is simple -- can the goofy guy win the girl of his dreams (Janet Blair) by becoming a successful Fuller Brush Man...even if murder enters the picture.
There's a succession of funny segments, first when Red gets fired as a street cleaner after setting fire to the city park and then smashing up the commissioner's car. Then there's an extended segment where he first tries being a brush salesmen and meets a different challenge at ever door...including a (if not the) Mean Widdle Kid. In fact, fans of the old Red Skelton television shows will recognize a numbers of lines and skits that became standards for Red. During the period, Buster Keaton was often off-camera in Skelton movies, and while I found no evidence of Keaton working on this film, you'll see his influence in some of the bits. There are some great sight gags in the "chase scene" at the end of the flick.
This is very much Red's picture. Janet Blair does her job here, but it's nothing special. Hillary Brooke, quite active in Abbot & Costello films, does rather nicely here. And, Arthur Space is one of those character actors whose name you probably don't know, but he does nicely here at the police detective.
If you like slapstick comedy, get this one for your DVD shelf. SONY has done a decent job here in terms of the transfer to DVD.The opening scenes of "The Fuller Brush Man" are hardly promising: Red Skelton, playing a ne'er-do-well who can't hold a job, hopes to impress his lady-love with his skills as a door-to-door salesman, not knowing that he's been sent to the worst neighborhood in town by his adversary, his gal's other boyfriend. Seeing charming Skelton (with his happy chatter and lilting walk) being set-up as a chump is awfully sour, and the slapstick chaos which ensues isn't funny as a result. Thankfully, writer Frank Tashlin quickly gets off this baleful track, turning the proceedings instead into a comedic murder mystery, with Red one of the suspects in the killing of his former boss. The new plot thread--while neither original nor ingenious--does allow Skelton lots of funny business as an actor, with Janet Blair the perfect counterpart to Red's unintentional hero. The wild, free-for-all finale in a warehouse has staging and stunt-work as good as anything from the silent era, if not better. No wonder this was a box-office smash in 1948--it leaves the audience with a succession of happy highs. Followed two years later by "The Fuller Brush Girl". *** from ****Yes.

The public was much more aware of the Fuller Brush Company during the time of this movie than they are today. The Fuller Brush men were once a familiar part of the American scene.

The Fuller Brush Girl (1950) (1950). Lucille Ball stars in this sequel to the Red Skelton comedy. Yes. He's played by Jimmy Hunt, best known today for his lead role in Invaders from Mars (1953) (1953). The character comes from Red Skelton's radio program where Skelton himself played the role. Red calls himself Philo Jones. He's referring to Philo Vance, the amateur detective and bon vivant created by S.S. Van Dine, who featured him in twelve novels of the 20s and 30s. The character was also popular on the radio and in movies. a5c7b9f00b http://dolphin70.aqbsoft.com/m/feedback/view/The-Lego-Ninjago-Movie-Full-Movie-Download http://bizznity.com/m/feedback/view/Recalibrate-Tamil-Dubbed-Movie-Free-Download http://erafvalkontbull.wapka.me/forum2_theme_112968140.xhtml?tema=175 http://phylbufaresge.simplesite.com/433970865/6623479/posting/identity-full-movie-in-hindi-free-download-hd-1080p http://www.miestokate.lt/en/news/view/id/259740 http://dayviews.com/sbytkeren/526813663/ http://world-startups.com/m/feedback/view/Agent-Cody-Banks-Movie-Download-In-Mp4 http://www.miestokate.lt/en/news/view/id/259735 https://disqus.com/home/discussion/channel-insvatorrocon/megamind_the_button_of_doom_full_movie_download_in_hindi/ http://nordconnect.fr/m/feedback/view/The-Episode-15-Full-Movie-Download-In-Hindi
