Wissenswertes

The Clown is a 1953 American drama film starring Red Skelton with Jane Greer and Tim Considine, and directed by Robert Z. Leonard. The story is derived from The Champ (1931).

Production

The Ziegfeld Follies flashback is a 6-minute ballet class number taken from MGM's Bathing Beauty, the 1944 film starring Red Skelton, with Esther Williams and Basil Rathbone.

When the film was released, Skelton was a familiar figure to American television audiences. The Red Skelton Show debuted on September 30, 1951, on NBC, in a half-hour format like the one used on Dodo Delwyn's fictional show. With changes of network, format (to one hour) and name, to The Red Skelton Hour in 1962, it lasted until 1971.

The cast includes actors worth noting: Young Tim Considine was on the brink of a successful career that includes a long stint with Disney. The part of Eddie, the gambler to whom Dodo loses the watch, is played by Charles Buchinsky, better known as Charles Bronson. Steve Forrest and Roger Moore, two "men" had important careers ahead of them. Other familiar voices and face include Billy Barty, who would be a regular on Skelton's TV show.
