A VERY FUNNY NIGHT WITH W.C. FIELDS!
Come join us for a very special DOUBLE FEATURE night of two W.C. Fields comedy classics!
“It’s a Gift” (1934) W.C. Fields is at the top of his game as grocery store owner Harold Bissonette who battles a shrewish wife and assorted annoying children, customers and salesmen. Featuring many routines honed by Fields from his career over the years 1915–1925 including: “The Picnic”, “A Joy Ride” and “The Back Porch”. “It’s A Gift” is perhaps the best example of Fields as the Everyman battling against his domestic entrapment. Historians and critics often applaud “It’s a Gift’s” many memorable comedic moments!
“Man on the Flying Trapeze” (1935) Ambrose Wolfinger (Fields) struggles with the challenges of life including his hilariously overbearing wife, good for nothing brother-in-law and a variety of funny misadventures including burglars singing in his cellar! Fields’ signature comedic style combining slapstick and clever wordplay is prominently featured throughout the film. A classic example of W.C. Fields at his best!
Godfrey Daniel, Mister Muckle, Carl LaFong and madman wrestler Hookalakah Meshobbab all join in the fun in this wonderfully funny W.C. Fields double feature! On the BIG SCREEN!
