My ex wife is from West Africa. She'd never heard of W.C. Fields. I wish I'd had a camera to take a photo of the look on her face when she watched his movies with me. She couldn't believe it.
"What a wiicciup they have here!" A wicciup (sp?) is a circular hut made of bent poles by Native AMericans...can be used for a sweat lodge ceremony.....I helped build a couple
Ever since watching this movie, as a lad in my knickers, I have appropriated the phrase "Great Snakes!" as my personal utterance. It has brought me great comfort in my many travails.

What some of us need right now. Returned from collapse lungs in 1972 and a young lady lived downed the street she found out and gave me 2 ft. statue of him. I talked it daily. Helps keep me sane.
Fields had a strong resurgence in popularity amongst young adults in the early 70s. His films were sought after, every head shop had posters of him for sale.
@@20thcenturyAV yes a lot of fields is mumbling dialog that he delivers in his pictures people assume oh, because of his skill as an actor and comedian, to be improvised whereas nearly all of it was very carefully scripted and rehearsed.
Say listen, this is the greatest by this great one. It’s a Gift is great also. Thanks so much for this. If you don’t watch the whole picture you are cheating yourself
Iconic comedian, and legendary drunk. Classic comedic actor, is Fields. I love the way his daughter goes in, and is ready to take off her earrings to fight the mob.
Tart apple? Kartoffel?? Tartufo? What Mr. Bel-Goodie called larceny whipsnake, I mean Larson E. Whipsnade, seems to confuse him a bit: "Tartuffle? What kind of a tartuffle, are there two different kinds, male and female? " Sadly, this term seems to be lacking from the dictionary, but a tartufo is an edible fungus like a white truffle. Watch as this w. C. Fields word confuses the Google speech to text engine: takaful, tartufo, Shuffle, car duffle, nothing but a common talk topple, particle, car couple... It seems to go on forever. Score one more for Larson e. Whipsnade!
@@Wolfinger1935 yes, I did a version of "Tartuffe" called, "Sly Fox" some years ago onstage so that occurred to me too. But I consider them two different words since "Tartuffe" is a personal pronoun and Fields' "Tartuffle" is obviously an adjective the way it's used in this scene.
They didn't have the part where the mother fainted due to the snake and the father said "Someone get her a whisky." To which Fields shoots back: "Yeah, get me one, too."
