Norman McLeod’s It’s a Gift, considered by critics and fans to be one of W.C. Fields’s finest films.

The film showcases Fields’s adroitness as a physical comedian in this laugh-outloud story of a henpecked New Jersey grocer with plans to use an inheritance to buy an orange grove in California.

“When I was in college, the great W.C. Fields was venerated as a comedian equal to the Marx Brothers and Laurel and Hardy. His puncturing of pomposity and love of intoxicants endeared him to the anti-establishment youth culture,” said Joe Dante.
