WC Fields’ last starring film written by himself. A series of sketches strung together in a story where Fields tries to sell a movie to Franklin Panghorn. Includes the classic diner sketch. Enjoy.

I noticed some curious staging in that musical number starting at 6:33. A lady starts singing around a campfire. She starts walking forward away from the campfire while a whole group of people follow her. She stops and walks back to the campfire while the group of people follow her back. Why didn't they all just stay there around the campfire?
What do the two kids say at 2:35?
the boss's "example" of how Gloria Jean should sing is a hell of a lot less irritating than she is!
chickens have pretty legs in kansas.
"you're as funny as a cry for help"…classic
Funny how back then they thought every movie had to have people singing, no matter how bad or corny.
Wondering why 'It's a Gift' is missing from youtube when the other WC Fields films are here for free…
drew Barrymore look alike in the diner. lol
Did he try to order eggs in a glass?
excuse me blimpy pie
Funny how language changes throughout the years. Some of the slang is peculiar sounding now. Glad to watch this old movie!
Oh for a time machine to go back and meet a young Gloria Jean!
Love the bouncing rubber brick (at about 20:00).
What a gas! This movie is absolutely insane!
This is the most wonderful movie I've ever seen, and the funniest.
there are great lines in this,Bills last full film. I don't drink,but I love his talent any other FIELDS fans around?
His last starring role, and he surely showed the Hollywood studio system what he thought of them …
FIVE stars for Gloria Jean; bet she made W.C. forget to take his last dose of gin.
so timelessly funny …
especially the 'Esoteric Studios' sign….

this is a good film on making a show of an with wc.fields classic confusion. he reminds me of the grandfather that's lived a very crazy colorful past. this movie is nuts he drops his bottle out the plane an he doesn't think an leaps out now thats crazy.
there's alot of post on how great an funny w.c.fields is an was
W. C. Fields arrived to the movies so late. He was born in 1880 and his first picture was in 1915. He was a great great artist but he liked to drink alcohol liquors very much and I think this broke a little his career.
What a mess. Except for the Diner Sketch.
Thanks Harry. Hope you're back soon
This movie is hilarious. W. C. Fields was a genius. It was sad that he was such an alcoholic and it lead him to his death. At least he had such a sense of humor about it in the movies.
