A charming tribute to Will Rogers, this Michael Curtiz-directed film offers a simple, reverent recapitulation of the great American humorist's life. It follows Rogers from his birth in 1879 in Oologah, Oklahoma, through his marriage and his experiences with a Wild West show, and on to his
fateful Alaska-bound plane crash in 1935. Will Rogers, Jr., skillfully portrays his father.
