      Ken Hanke Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) One very off-the-wall movie that never for a moment bothers to make a great deal of sense. Rated: 4.5/5 Dec 22, 2011 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It's loaded with sight gags, slapstick and physical humor. Rated: B+ Mar 29, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

      Corocote L One of if not the best of WC Fields comedies. A surrealist expedition into a mythical world which was actually filmed in the L.A. Coliseum using facilities for the 1932 Olympics. Fields and Jack Oakie at the top of their games. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/12/23 Full Review david s Great fun that I can imagine the audiences of depression era helping to relieve their troubles Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Popeye has spinach, and Fields has... goats milk? Several excellent vignettes within this piece, including a few physical bits from Fields vaudeville days. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Jack Oakie stars as an American brush salesman working in the tiny country of Klopstokia. He meets and fall in love with president W.C.Fields's daughter. He is rejected as a potential suitor until he convinces Fields that the nearly bankrupt country can get the money they need by sending a team to the Olympic games in Los Angeles. This seldom seen film is an absurdist masterpiece ... the slogan for Oakie's brush company is "They brush". Fields stays in office by defeating his cabinet in feats of strengths. This movie is the gift that keeps on giving. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Quite possibly WC Fields funniest film. In the surreal anarchist frenzy of "Duck Soup"-with a faster pace. An underrated, somewhat unknown masterpiece. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member crazy zany off the wall comedy vehicles for WC Fields Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
