Download hi-res imagesSPLAT! That’s the sound of one of the more than 20,000 pies legendary comedian Soupy Sales (born Milton Supman, 1926-2009) got hit in the face with over his half-century-long career. Most famous for his 1960s children’s TV series The Soupy Sales Show, Sales became a beloved icon of Baby Boomer generation kids and their parents with his unpredictable sketches, slapstick humor, witty puns, and puppet gags. A loving tribute to the late entertainer, Soupy Sales: The Whole Gang is Here features the funniest moments from the 1964-1966 run of The Soupy Sales Show, filmed in black and white from New York City, and 1978’s The New Soupy Sales Show, filmed in color from Los Angeles — many of which haven’t been seen in over 30 years. Memorable sketches include a restaurant pie-fight between Soupy, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., and Trini Lopez, Soupy pitching Alice Cooper a singing bug for his opening act, the legendary naked lady gag, Soupy’s Words of Wisdom, “Do the Mouse,” and plenty of laughs from Soupy’s puppet gang — White Fang, Black Tooth and Pookie the Lion — and the outrageous characters that showed up at his door. Written and directed by Long Island native Marino Amoruso (Pride & Passion: The Italians In America, Frank Sinatra: The Man & The Myth), Soupy Sales: The Whole Gang is Here also features Dick Clark, Frankie Valli, Fess Parker, Dick Van Patten, William B. Williams, and interviews with TV historian Joe Varsalona and comedian “Uncle Floyd” Vivino. A Morada Vision Production. A presentation of WLIW21 in association with WNET.ORG.
