John Kelly Movies
Of many "John Kellys" in films, this
John Kelly was the most prolific. Actor John Kelly was usually cast as boxers, cabbies, sailors and street cops. He made his first film in 1927, and his last in 1946. John Kelly's parts ranged from microscopic--he has one line as Captain
Sidney Toler's first mate in
Our Relations (1936)--to meaty; many will no doubt remember him best as dim-witted deputy sheriff Elmer in
Howard Hawks'
Bringing Up Baby (1938). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
