Richard Widmark in a comedy? Yes, I can see it very easily. That brittle, angry sort of character he played throughout much of his career was made for a kick in the pants and a trip on a banana peel. but he doesn't get either. he just dopes out his son, budding pyromaniac (annoying) George Winslow and is making good progress in a by-the-numbers 1950s romcom with nursery school teacher Joanne Dru, when ex-wife Audrey Trotter reappears to put the squeeze on him, and it's back to drama land for Mr. Widmark.
Even Kirk Douglas tried a couple of comedies in the 1950s. All right, they weren't funny, but he tried.
