IT'S A GIFT
"IT'S A GIFT" --- (1934) ---
MY THOUGHTS: The first time I ever saw W. C. Fields it was in "My Little Chickadee" with Mae West. I was enthralled. He was so funny, and she was so over-the-top. It was the most fun I'd ever had watching a film. I was an instant fan. I became even more so of one, as the years went by, and I was able to watch more of his work. However, I had never seen this one before now, and it really brought me back (as it has been quite some time since I've seen one of his movies). I would recommend watching W.C. Fields to anyone and everyone. Everyone should try it out, just once, to see what they think. I think they will like it!
SYNOPSIS: "Harold Bissonette is the owner of a small-town grocery store, husband of a harassing wife and father of two spoiled children, and his customers aren't much better. When Bissonette has the opportunity to buy an orange grove in California, he jumps at the chance to move across the country -- at the very least, to avoid an annoying insurance salesman. Unfortunately for him, the orange grove is not what he expected."
