The Great Rupert

[linderlizzie]

Has anyone ever seen this movie?

It's Christmas-themed and it stars Jimmy Durante (the schnoz) and a 'talented' squirrel.

"The Great Rupert is a 1950 comedy family film, produced by George Pal, directed by Irving Pichel and starring Jimmy Durante, Tom Drake and Terry Moore. It is based on a story, written by Ted Allan, which has also been published as a children's book under the title "Willie the Squowse"."

Kinda silly, but fun.

I have not seen The Great Rupert.   I googled it and nothing is familiar from childhood.  The scene I saw didn't even look like Jimmy Durante so I kept looking.  The first man in the scene was not Jimmy Durante, but Jimmy Conlin.  Durante came into the picture later.  I did watch the full movie.
I did find it interesting that animation of Rupert the Squirrel was as good as it was since this movie is quite old in today's animation.

I also have never heard of this movie, and personally probably wouldnt watch it anyway.  Do not care for Jimmy Durante.

Nope, never heard of it. Thanks for letting us know about it!

No, I never heard of it either.  I probably wouldn't watch it....I never really cared for Jimmy Durante.

No, I haven't heard of it nor have I seen it.  I do like the old movies, though, so I will probably check it out.
