Hi, I'm Will Rogers

Will Rogers, Jr. stars as his own father Will Rogers in what many critics say is one of the best of movie biographies ever. Will, Jr. even asked that nothing be added to over-dramatize or embellish the storyline of the movie. He wanted his father to speak for himself. That's what they said on TCM. If you love film biographies, or like Jane Wyman, or if you have never heard of Will Rogers and want to know more about him, then you're in for a treat. Costarring James Gleason, Slim Pickens, Mary Wickes and Eddie Cantor as himself, this film has more heart and respect for its subject matter in one minute, than a lot of other movie biographies have in the whole film, especially musical biographies. This film shows how one man made a difference in the lives of others by being himself and that he is still being loved and remembered today.

Curiosidades
The real Eddie Cantor appears as himself in support of Will Rogers, Jr. who portrays his father, a contemporary of Cantor's. The next year Rogers, Jr. would return the favor, again appearing as his father in The Eddie Cantor Story. Both films were made by Warner Brothers.

Pifias
When Will Rogers is addressing the bankers at 1:17:00 in, there are 2 old style microphones on the table in front of him. The one on the left of the screen, Rogers' right, is missing one of the suspension springs between the mic cartridge and the frame. It also has no wire attached to it, so it couldn't possibly function.

Citas
Will Rogers: Well it looks like the women are finally gonna get the vote. A lot of men say they shouldn't be trusted with it. Seems kind of silly to stop trustin' them now after eatin' their cookin' for 4000 years.
