Customer Reviews of Texas Carnival

A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING...
This is an odd pastiche of a movie that seems put together just to allow each of its stars to do what they each do best. Red Skelton has some zany moments of slapstick and face mugging. Ethel waters has her requisite water and swim scenes. Ann Miller has her song and dance numbers. The ever handsome Howard Keel sings his heart out. Keenan Wynn...well, believe it or not, he just acts.

The film revolves around carnival dunk show impresario (Red Skelton) and the star of his water show (Ethel Waters) who are down on their luck and close to starving. They run into a Texas oil tycoon (Keenan Wynn) who, while on a drunken spree, befriends the carnival impresario and leaves him his car while he goes off in a cab, as he is too drunk to drive. Our impresario, with his star, later drives the car to the hotel where he believes the tycoon is staying in order to return the car. There, he is mistaken for the very person he's looking for, and his dunk show star is mistaken for the tycoon's sister. Meanwhile, the real tycoon has made a spur of the moment road trip elsewhere. A lonesome cowboy (Howard Keel) hankers after our lovely water sprite (Ethel Waters), while the sheriff's singing and dancing daughter (Ann Miller) sets her six shooters upon our zany carnival guy (Red Skelton). Let the games begin!

There is a very funny scene involving Red Skelton in a chuck wagon race. There is also an absolutely beautiful scene in which Ethel Waters appears to be swimming in her cowboy's hotel room, sort of like a water sprite in a dream sequence. I know it sounds ludicrous, but thanks to the miracle of special effects it is really a beautiful, elegant, and graceful scene. All in all, however, this is a fairly mediocre film with a few memorable highlights.


Where's the rest?
This film clocks in at 77 minutes, which leads me to wonder if there wasn't more to it before the editors got a hold of it. As it is it's thin at best, but the great cast keeps the attention. Ann Miller has a gem of a number, and Red Skelton is his usual zany self. The films of director Charles Walters nearly always hit a level below the usual standard of MGM musicals. I guess his forte must have been bringing a film in on time and under budget because an artist he is not.


The swimming star
This is a great movie with lots of laughs and nice singing by Howard Keel and great dancing by Ann Miller. I like the special effect of Esther Williams swimming in Howard Keel's living room. Of course Red Skelton is funny as usual and Keenan Wynn. They don't make them like this anymore.
