I always laugh at the line Fields gives to Gloria Jean after she threatens to quit school: “You don’t want to grow up and be dumb like ZaSu Pitts, do you?” Great chase finale.

Although truthfully, I prefer Fields’ earlier Paramount vehicles, with their backdrops that often exuded that sort of small-town americana that they did... “You’re Telling Me,” “It’s a Gift,” “Tillie and Gus,” and such. Or even, “The Old-Fashioned Way” with its comedic turn-of-the-century depiction of the old “10-20-30” stage melodramas, which proliferated across the country in the days right before nickelodeons took over.

“Any man who hates children and dogs can’t be all bad.”

“Water? An abominable substance, my boy. Fish [fornicate] in it.”

“Scram, kid, before I break both your legs.”

(Epitaph) “On the whole, I’d rather be in Philadelphia.”

Thanks. I don't think I've seen these 2 others (It's A Gift I found and downloaded a few years ago). Fortunately, YouTube has at least one of them there...
