"Merton of the Movies" is one of the best movies I have ever seen, and it is one of my personal favorites. Red Skelton and Virginia O'Brien are both smashing as usual. The role of the naive, unknowing Merton Gill/Clifford Armytage is perfect for Skelton. The role of the knowing, comforting, concerned Phyllis Montague is perfect for O'Brien. It also provides a decent view into the workings of Hollywood and of the private lives of the stars during the silent film era. It is also a very touching movie, as we see O'Brien's increasing concern for Skelton's well-being. This is a must-see for any comedy fan, and those who love a good romance.
