1h 3m | Comedy | NR
When the Daughters of Dixie nominate a candidate for State Senator.
This DVD of the 1947 Comedy movie It's a Joke, Son! has been digitally re-mastered to maintain the original retro/classic scratched look and feel of the original movie that was so common at the time of its creation.
Director: Benjamin Stoloff
Writers: Robert E. Kent
Stars: Kenny Delmar, Una Merkel, June Lockhart
The first Eagle-Lion film stars Kenny Delmar as Senator Beauregard Claghorn, his Allen's Alley resident-character heard on Fred Allen's radio program. Claghorn was a blustery, one-man-Chamber-of-Commerce for all things Southern, who had no tolerence for anything north of the Mason-Dixon line, although he made allowances for South Philly. The character inspired the creation of one of the most popular of the Warners' cartoon characters, Foghorn Leghorn, who re-worked most of the originals material and style. The title of this movie is a stock line- It's a joke, son - he would feed a befuddled Fred Allen each week.
In the film, Claghorn gets into some financial difficulties and is forced by a machine - political gang to enter a race for state senator against his wife (Una Merkel) who appears to have a good chance to beat the political hack backed by the machine. Claghorn is in to siphon votes and ensure his wife's opponent will win and is expected to run a campaign that will defeat himself and his wife. But, he runs to win and the machine's henchies abduct him.
