I always sort of compartmentalized W.C. Fields and the Crosby/Hope road movies in two different eras. But here we have releases of each two days apart. I guess this is an overlap. But after all, neither are that far removed from vaudeville. Mel Brooks movies would fit right in.
Don't miss the article on Sergeant York (the real one) on image #2.
