One of America's most popular entertainers for almost 50 years, Jimmy Durante's personality and act was hugely popular in vaudeville and in nightclubs, on radio and in movies, and most of all, on television. Mr. Durante got his start as a musician, and was actually an accomplished pianist by the time he got to vaudeville with his comedy/music team Clayton, Jackson, and Durante. This documentary takes a look back at the Schnoz's life and legacy through television and film clips, interviews with his wife and daughter as well as with Leonard Maltin, a fan of Mr. Durante and one of America's leading experts on television and film history.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive MenusText/Photo Galleries: Filmographies& AwardsDVD-ROM Features: Weblink
