2 Reviews. Hide Spoilers. Sort by: Filter by Rating: 6/10. Woody Woodpecker and the birdwatcher. TheLittleSongbird 29 August 2017. Was very fond of Woody Woodpecker and his cartoons as a child. Still get much enjoyment out of them now as a young adult, even if there are more interesting in personality cartoon characters and better overall cartoons.

'Watch the Birdie' wasn't all bad. Bob Holt is good fun as both Dogfather and Pug, his mix of Don Corleone and Columbo in his voicing of the former was inspired. Dogfather has some amusing lines.
Watch the Birdie is a remake of the 1928 M-G-M film The Cameraman, directed by Edward Sedgwick and starring Buster Keaton (see AFI Catalog of Feature Films, 1921-30; F2.0752).
Review by Sven Rump ★★½ Red Skelton, Red Skelton and Red Skelton star in Watch the Birdie a comedy not among the highlights of Red's career, but still worth watching if only for a chase scene that draws more than its fair share of inspiration from Buster Keaton's work.
