Has anyone here ever seen this movie (The Good Humor Man)? I know that Fawcett did a number of movie comic adaptations, but this doesn't appear to be an adaptation, more like a sequel or side-story to the film itself. Does the movie contain any references to Captain Marvel? I'd be curious to know what sort of connection Fawcett had to the film itself or the making of the film, because it just seems like such an odd type of marketing. Strangely enough, I see that George Reeves (the future TV Superman) is in the film, which seems ironic in retrospect. Still, it did have a screenplay by Frank Tashlin, so it might be worth checking out... Is it available on DVD?

Haven't seen the movie, but IIRC a fake Captain Marvel comic, with an original cover by C.C. Beck, did appear in the film (and later appeared in an episode of the Donna Reed show years after Fawcett stopped publishing comics.)
