5.0 out of 5 stars Proof that Skelton's the perfect "pigeon" for comedy, January 29, 2011

This review is from: Red Skelton: Public Pigeon No. 1 (DVD)

At first, I was disappointed that this was not the movie version, but the original teleplay of "Public Pigeon No. 1". Then I watched & was completely bowled over by comedian Red Skelton's antics! What a standard feature film takes (approx. 90 mins.), this T.V. episode of "Climax" does in a compact 48 mins. About a well-meaning shnook who invests in uranium from a pair of con artists, then is set up to take the fall & is sent to prison, Skelton is simply hilarious here. An inspired clown/pantomimist, Skelton makes every joke, sight gag & facial reaction count. The prison break segment by itself is just hysterical!
A nice little piece of vintage 1956 television to add to my (and your) collection!

Up until yesterday, I had only heard of Red Skelton, and saw a few clips on TV from time to time. I saw this DVD in the sale rack at [a physical store] for less than seven bucks. What could I lose since it's just over ? After watching this short film (less than an hour) I became a full fledged fan.

The prison escape is absolutely priceless. Now I'm on Amazon looking for more Red Skelton films.

4.0 out of 5 stars CLIMAX!!!!!, May 25, 2009

Great Red Skelton performance. This was an episode of "Climax" and it appears to be complete. That is, except for the Climax opening preceding the episode and the ending credits. The quality is good and there is no GT logo on this.
