    Phil Silvers's rapid-fire delivery and scheming screen persona made him comedy's most lovable con man, from 'Sergeant Bilko' to film appearances where his ability to make audiences root for characters who were clearly up to no good demonstrated exceptional comic timing. His vaudeville background and understanding of physical comedy brought energy to roles that required both verbal wit and visual humor while his natural warmth prevented even his most conniving characters from becoming truly unlikable. These movie posters feature an entertainer who proved that comedy could be both sophisticated and accessible.
