{"product_id":"its-a-joke-son-1947-colorized","title":"IT'S A JOKE, SON - 1947 - COLORIZED","description":"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe first Eagle-Lion film stars Kenny Delmar as Senator Beauregard Claghorn, his \"Allen's Alley\" resident-character heard on Fred Allen's radio program. Claghorn was a blustery, one-man-Chamber-of-Commerce for all things Southern, who had no tolerence for anything north of the Mason-Dixon line, although he made allowances for South Philly. The character inspired the creation of one of the most popular of the Warners' cartoon characters, Foghorn Leghorn, who re-worked most of the originals material and style. The title of this movie is a stock line- \"it's a joke, son\"---he would feed a befuddled Fred Allen each week. In the film, Claghorn gets into some financial difficulties and is forced by a machine-political gang to enter a race for state senator against his wife (Una Merkel) who appears to have a good chance to beat the political hack backed by the machine. Claghorn is in to siphon votes and ensure his wife's opponent will win and is expected to run a campaign that will defeat himself and his wife. But, he runs to win and the machine's henchies abduct him.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"TV Museum DVDs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50249603907722,"sku":"oae1789921615121","price":9.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/9507\/4954\/files\/its-a-joke-son---1947---colorized_1.jpg?v=1789921642","url":"https:\/\/pulseformv.shop\/products\/its-a-joke-son-1947-colorized","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
