Papa's Delicate Condition is a 1963 American comedy film starring Jackie Gleason and Glynis Johns. It was an adaptation of the Corinne Griffith memoir of the same name, about her father and growing up in Texarkana, Texas.[1] Jimmy Van Heusen (music) and Sammy Cahn (lyrics) won an Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Call Me Irresponsible".
Another Cahn/Van Heusen song, "Walking Happy", was used in a scene with Gleason and his on-screen daughter, Linda Bruhl, walking down a street while he sings about the people that they meet along the way. However, the scene was cut before the film's release. The song was later used in a Broadway musical of the same name.
