PUNQ

Rated 14 Jan 2016

Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch (1934) doesn't touch it's never with the poverty drama, nor with the comedy. Simply too little W.C. Fields and it otherwise felt slow. I guess the responsibility falls on Pauline Lord's shoulders. A renowned stage actress that only did 2 motion pictures. Of course there are charming portions and Fields getting caught in barbed wire and having Zasu Pitts cook for him created a few laughs. It's just a film which could have been so much better.
