Interesting take on “My Little Chickadee”. I recently saw it for the first time and always thought it was this grand classic. Turns out, it was only a mediocre film, and surprisingly, the original review was pretty much dead on.
One side note, I read somewhere that Mae West hated W.C.Fields. Evidently, her dislike for Fields was so intense that this picture almost didn’t get completed.
I had also not seen “My Little Chickadee” and went through life thinking it was some film classic. After all, it is the wellspring of several classic lines. But I would also agree with the Mr. Nugent’s review. It really wasn’t that great. But the photo of W.C. Fields is iconic.
I doubt “The Philadelphia Story” with Katherine Hepburn was much like the Tom Hanks version.
