It's a gift (1934) - little known classic comedy from director Norman Z. McLeod, starring W.C. Fields, Kathleen Howard and Baby LeRoy

Rating 7.4/10
Runtime: 68 min
Language: English
Country: USA
Directed by: Norman Z. McLeod
IMDb Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0025318/

Cast

W.C. Fields ... Harold Bissonette
Kathleen Howard ... Amelia Bissonette

Description: The henpecked Harold Bissonnette dreams of owning a orange grove in California but his wife won't hear of it. He currently runs, not very successfully, a small fruit and vegetable store where he seemingly can never have on hand the stock that people want to buy. Coming into an inheritance he buys a farm sight unseen and soon the family heads off to California. At first blush, his investment seems to have been for naught: the farm was abandoned long ago and has long been considered inadequate for growing oranges. All seems lost until someone comes along with another use for the land.
