Did you guys notice that Fields does not even wrap up the gum. It falls out when he wraps up the package. lol Mr. Muckle opens up an empty package hahhahaha
THINK ABOUT HOW many people seen this in 1934 on some entertainment called “Motion Pictures” Now, how many people in 2008 are checking this out on some entertainment called You Tube
We make amazing upgrades in technology only to use it to go back in time.
Nice Video lolz, my names Jennifer, im feelin n0rty and h0rn3y if any guyz wana chat im usually on ___ FriendlyFlirts..dot..COM ___ my username there is Jennifer-ywoqxhulwebe chat soon ;)
ha! I’ve watched this many times though this was the first time I noticed Fields (intentionally for sight gag) did his laborious wrapping around the chewing gum–without the gum! It’s still on the counter because he was so distracted by Mr. Muckle. lol. So he gets a huge package for the tiny gum, and then has the gum delivered because Mr. Muckle refused to carry it, and it never left the store. Fieldsian karmic commentary/revenge on film against such (literally) ‘empty’ wasteful pretensions.
For a man whose early career was based on the visual sight gag, Fields’ movie success is remarkable. More than anyone, he instilled dialogue as a basic part of comedy. And here, neurotic comedy… at its best. Check out the rest of the movie. A Great Depression film that understands the Great Depression almost before it started, made in 1933-34. Oh yeah, babe.
Indeed, I think as well that, It’s a Gift, is the funniest film ever made.

I’d love to go to the veggie department at SuperFresh and start yelling about kumquats, but nobody would get the joke :D
Pleeeeease, sit there till I come back…
LOLOLOLOL
“WHAT ABOUT MY KUMQUATS!!” one of my favorite lines ever!!!
“Sit down Muckle honey.” Charles Sellon played Mr. Muckle and was in another movie in 1930 called “Honey”.Maybe Fields was trying to make him laugh.
W.C. Fields life was a perpetual hang over……what a scoundrel!
“goway, goway, goway, goway, goway, goway, goway, goway”
I gotta piece of chalk! You wanna play hopscotch?
A brilliant “sight” gag.
Sit down Mr. Muckle Honey!

The P.C. gestapo certainly wouldn’t try it, but they would sure as hell CENSOR it.

The funniest film ever made. Peter Sellers must have drooled over this.
How does he rate all this attention? Who is that man? Fields- He’s the house detective at the Grand Hotel. Classic.
“Had that door closed again, huh?” True humor doesn’t date because human nature doesn’t change. WC was the best.
my favorite fields bit
