The Barstows #2



Note that the Barstows are listed second in the cast, even though their specialty number comes late in the film.

According to IMDb, this was the Barstows only big screen appearance. Fans of old movies will probably also note that the cast includes the well-known character actor Sheldon Leonard. (Leonard plays the bartender who throws Jimmy Stewart out into the snow in IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE.) In addition to a lot of movie and TV work as an actor, Leonard was also a successful television producer.

Haven't noticed much show worthy

offerings from you lately "DAD"

Only complaints (what's the beef)

Richard Barstow (aside from his

temper tantrums) was responsible

for many well directed productions

He remained a close acquainance of

mine long after he left the show

I did a number of rehearsals with him and noted his nasty temperment and then lovey-dovey but he could be exasperating. On his ladst rehearsal he made an uncomplimentory comment over the mike in reference to Kenny Feld, who was just working into the company and Bob Dover and myself realized this was the Buffalo Bill [last appearance] for dear Richard. How true. He did do some great shows over the years but I believe he was "running out of gas" He 3was quite a copycat as well.I had ups and downs with him but we ended up as friends. johnny

That Buffalo Bill remark reminded

me of a good friend's parting words

to the fellow mentioned as he put

his office keys on his desk "You

wouldn't be here if your daddy

didn't buy you a circus" & left
