Review by LeeJK56 ★★★★
Dated comedy with very inappropriate dating advice, but a very funny Keaton-like car chase. Rated this movie a full star higher due to nostalgia; one, this was a movie my dad and I watched and talked about when I was quite young, and while watching Red Skelton on Network, my stepdad and I also talked a lot about Skelton movies, they were both huge Red Skelton fans. This rubbed off. Two, this is the only movie I have ever seen that features a lumber carrier in a car chase scene. I am quite familiar with such vehicles having worked at the Weyerhauser sawmills in my hometown, back in my pre-college years, so it is extra amusing. Finally, it shows a…

Review by Sven Rump ★★½
Red Skelton, Red Skelton and Red Skelton star in Watch the Birdie a comedy not among the highlights of Red's career, but still worth watching if only for a chase scene that draws more than its fair share of inspiration from Buster Keaton's work.
Red, and his father and grandfather, own a store selling photo cameras and all things related and they are in trouble with debts and are about to be foreclosed on. When a newsreel photographer lets on how much he makes for a few (good) shots, Red gets the idea in his head he can save his store this way and naturally that is where the antics begin.

.................................... unwatchable!
Alright, Ann Miller has some funny moments trying to do a sexy pose surrounded by a posse of unruly turkeys, but I can barely stand one Red Skelton, let alone three of him hamming it up with himself.

my love of Ann Miller unfortunately doesn't outweigh my dislike of Red Skelton. 🙁

Review by theironcupcake ★★
This remake of the Buster Keaton silent comedy The Cameraman (1928) is unfortunately rather mediocre when compared to that classic, but Red Skelton is as sweet and high-energy as ever, portraying three separate characters: a young man as well as his father and grandfather. The Great Stone Face had more success with identical or similar physical gags, but Red always tries his best. Meanwhile, Ann Miller shows off her famous gams in a swimsuit but doesn't have any musical numbers to do, and Arlene Dahl gives a basically pleasant performance as a career woman (very cool) and Red's love interest. As an aside, I hope Arlene is doing well during our current health crisis - she's almost 95!
