Supported by his girlfriend, Liz Bullitt (Sally Forrest), Joe finds that most of his friends and neighbors think that his efforts are absurd.

Bob Thomas Associated Press A pleasant if not sensational Red Skelton vehicle. Aug 6, 2019 Full Review Jay Carmody Washington Star This has been done a number of times before. It also has been done better, but seldom better natured. Aug 20, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Red Skelton at his best Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member FUNNY HISTORICAL PIC ABOUT A GUY WHO INVENTS THE HORSELESS CARRIAGE AND FALLS IN LOVE WITH A GIRL. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Pleasant enough but rather uninspired; Monica Lewis is shown to good advantage, and Skelton and Forrest sing the film's best song, "Spring Has Sprung." Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
