Here is a perfect little film. It's full of laughs, music and Red Skelton. I've never been a Red Skelton fan but when I saw this film on TCM I was hooked. I couldn't stop watching. Between the music, the dancing, and slapstick I can't say which one was better. The other thing is the direction. It didn't seem like it was made almost 60 years ago. The camera moment is on par with correct Hollywood. To that end, it was better than current directors do. No MTV editing but good clean shots that flow from one shot to the next without as many edits. Now that's something I would love current Hollywood try. This is a gem of a movie.

This movie is not a true documentary in the hollywood sence. It's more nature footage with a narration. The shots of the Bigfoot may not be the best I've seen but they are used well. That said how can a man in a hairy suit limping shot from about 300 feet away look real. The over all tone is keep me watching even though nothing new is learned from this movie about Bigfoot.
