It's a Gift (1934)
None-stop classic comedy with W. C. Fields at his best.
Quite simply, W. C. Fields best full-length sound feature, although his 1940 feature The Bank Dick ranks right up there as well. Full of great moments, but the scene where Fields tries to get a fitful night of sleep only to be bothered by an endless stream of interruptions is my favorite. A classic ending too. Don't miss this one.
Gents in a Jam (1952)
Fast-paced comedy dealing with visit of Shemp's rich uncle.
Excellent, fast-paced short dealed with Moe, Larry and Shemp facing eviction from their landlady, and the only bright prospect being a financial rescue by Shemp's rich Uncle Phineas (hilariously played by Emil Sitka in a stand-out performance). One of the last really outstanding Stooge shorts featuring Shemp, before increased budgetary restrictions by Columbia forced the team to rely on a significant use of stock footage from earlier films.
