If door-to-door salesmen sang like this, I'd buy their stuff!

Harry Richman stars in this bizarre comedy musical short. I say bizarre because he is a door-to-door broom salesman who sings to make sales. However, his potential sale (June O'Dea) is not an easy one, as she complains that the previous door-to-door salesman was more impressive...so Richman brings out a trio to accompany him. But this lady is no pushover...so what will he need to do to clinch the sale?

While I am not a huge fan of musicals, this one worked for me because it was so silly and made me laugh. Well worth seeing.

The musical genre features stories that combine music, singing, dancing, acting, and often spoken dialogue to tell a story or convey a narrative. Musicals incorporate various elements of drama, music, and choreography to create a cohesive theatrical experience that engages audiences on multiple levels.
