About The Carnation Kid
It's a case of mistaken identity in this comedy that centers around a country bumpkin mistaken for a Chicago hitman.
Directed by E. Mason Hopper, Leslie Pearce, The Carnation Kid leans on a strong ensemble — Douglas MacLean, Frances Lee, William B. Davidson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
