It's a Gift

Laughs (#58)

W.C. Fields is actually likeable in this movie about a hen-pecked husband who inherits an orange grove and moves his family to California.  The woman who plays his wife (I can't remember her name) is one of those stage actresses who should have stuck with theater.  She's absolutely grating.  But Fields is sympathetic and charming, and overall, this is a pretty good movie.
