Even George C. Scott couldn't turn down the opportunity to appear opposite Red Skelton in the 1960s. In the main comedy sketch, Scott is cast as a South Pole explorer, who hires Freddie the Freeloader (Red) as his reluctant assistant. Musical guests The Honeycombs sing "Have I the Right". And in the Silent Spot, village smithy Red takes up his usual post under the spreading chestnut tree. This episode aired March 23, 1965. | |
