      Audience Member ASEQUEL OF SORTS TO RED'S THE FULLER BRUSH MAN THE ZANY COMEDY AND JOKES KEEP FLYING HERE AN ALL STAR CAST KEEPS THE FUN COMING. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I just love Red Skelton. A great Skelton vehicle (pun intended) and loads of fun for the entire family. The only thing I would have liked better would have been color instead of b/w film, however, Red is Red even in black and white. This one goes into my permanent comedy collection. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
