Old timers have still something to say.......2007-06-11

Kenny Delmar's voice from the Fred Allen show comes alive on the screen. If you're over 60 you may enjoy the nostalgic re-connection with a "character" from the history of radio comedy shows. If not over 60, and below 30 maybe it'll do you good to step out of the electronic "cell" you're surrounded by and see what the old days were like.

THey weren't perfect, all of who are from 60-70 and above know that. But they were fun, no political correctness was known then, perhaps that's too bad but the foibles of both halves are poked fun at in a way that would do the Klan a lot of good to take to heart.

Foghorn Leghorn personified.......2004-06-26

The character Kenny Delmar plays in this movie--Senator Clanghorn--was one he initially created for radio audiences. More notably, it's the character on which Warner Brothers (and Mel Blanc) later based the cartoon rooster Foghorn Leghorn. Always a Foghorn fan, I was interested in the origin of the character, and bought a VHS version of the movie some years ago. It sports an engaging (if contrived) plot, designed as a vehicle for allowing Delmar to bring his blustery, conniving character to the screen.

Kenny Delmar brings his Fred Allen radio show character, Senator Claghorn, to the big screen in this comedy from Eagle-Lion Productions. Senator Claghorn, a southern gentleman proud of his heritage and anything Southern, is convinced to run for state senator by a group of crooked northern politicians. The group plans to have Senator Claghorn run against his wife in hopes that he will divide the vote so their true candidate can win the election.
