Pretty good early 50s comedy. Jack Carson is in his element playing an everyman/working stiff/schlub (kinda surprised, actually, that the Good Humor Company allowed itself to be personified by such a clueless goof). Scenarist Frank Tashlin provides him with a generous supply of amusing throwaway lines while director Lloyd Bacon stages some nice slapstick bits, especially in the first third while Carson is making his rounds and encountering various ludicrous situations like trying to deliver unmelted ice cream to a grouchy blast furnace worker and being slapped into aural coherence by an irate woman customer whose voice is distorted via tintinitis brought on by the good humor bells. The second two thirds, as the lame plot takes over, is not as good, with the comic finale trying way too hard, plus I hate to see a fine actor like Lola Albright wasted in the bland loyal girlfriend role but, all in all, I had an ok time. B minus
