Last week's Movie Quiz winners
Filed under: Imported
The answer to last week's quiz is It's a Gift, the virtually perfect 1934 comedy starring the 20th century's funniest fellow, W.C. Fields. There isn't a second of this movie that isn't at least a grin, and often it hits a fever pitch of hilarity that has never been topped (except, perhaps, by his other 10-star classic, The Bank Dick). If you've never seen it, you really don't know how funny a movie can be.
This week's comedy connoisseurs who correctly identified the film were Joe Rosenberg and Sally Ryan-- so far, the quiz's most consistent winners-- and Wayne A. Palmer. Special congratulations to E. Yarber, who not only ID'ed the movie but also gave the name of the boy in the first clip (Tom Bupp) and cited the film's original source material, Field's silent film, It's the Old Army Game. A hearty handclasp to all!
