Review of Million Dollar Legs (1932) by Richard D — 11 Sep 2017
Jack Oakie stars as an American brush salesman working in the tiny country of Klopstokia. He meets and fall in love with president W.C.Fields's daughter. He is rejected as a potential suitor until he convinces Fields that the nearly bankrupt country can get the money they need by sending a team to the Olympic games in Los Angeles.
This seldom seen film is an absurdist masterpiece ... the slogan for Oakie's brush company is "They brush". Fields stays in office by defeating his cabinet in feats of strengths. This movie is the gift that keeps on giving.
