Farfel (upcoming film)

Plot
In 1950, while working a late show in a Wichita, Kansas nightclub with his human dummy Danny O'Day, ventriloquist Jimmy Nelson picked up a stuffed dog left on a patron on the piano, and improvised a low-pitched voice to make it talk. This gave him an idea for a new character which he comissioned from Chicago dummy maker, Frank Marshall. Nelson named it Farfel, after the Jewish pasta dish. Farfel became an instant hit, and contributed the rise in Nelson's popularity.
