Kicking the Moon Around is a 1938 British musical comedy film directed by Walter Forde and starring Bert Ambrose, Evelyn Dall and Harry Richman. In an effort to discover whether his fiancee is a golddigger a millionaire's son pretends to have lost all his money. The film marked Maureen O'Hara's screen debut as she made a cameo appearance speaking one line.
Harry Wallace (Harry Richman) is the star of a musical comedy who, while on a leave of absence from Broadway, encounters a troupe of untalented showboat players and takes them to New York City. Without letting them in on the joke, he then features them in a new revue, hoping that unintentionally-funny act will bring the house down.
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?
