action

The comedian Buddy Young Junior, who was successful in the 1950s, has only a few lucrative appearances. The flashbacks show the Jewish brothers Buddy and Stan appearing in front of their relatives. When they are about to perform on real stages, Stan gets doubts and backs down. Buddy appears alone as Buddy Young Junior . His number does not amuse the audience at first, but when he then improvises, he makes the audience laugh.

Buddy begins a career as a comedian, accompanied by his brother Stan. Stan even puts the brother in contact with the attractive women from the audience. Buddy has problems with his daughter.

Years later, Stan accuses Buddy of wasting his own life on his brother . Buddy replies that being close to a star gave Stan a life in the first place. In the end, Buddy makes up with his daughter and brother.

Reviews

Apart from the sentimental finale, the fast-paced film keeps the balance between comedy and hidden tragedy. As entertaining as it is touching. "
