Review of My Little Chickadee (1940) by Veronique K — 20 Jan 2011
It's a shame that WC Fields and Mae West collaborated on 1 film. The 2 stars wrote and starred in it together, but also tried to one-up each other so much that rewrites turned it into a fight for the top-spot.
Maybe it works in the sense of Judd Apatow films of improv-ing and trying to one-up the other actors, but the 1940 didn't have millions of feet of film to adlib in... If only they did. Still, the hilarious gags still work to West and Fields' best, but the story could've been so much more.
