One of the Funniest Things Ever Committed to Film

W. C. Fields in The Big Broadcast of 1938, Fields' last film and Bob Hope's first. Watch all the way through this video for the golf sketch. It was a variation of one Fields used in several films and is hilarious. If you get impatient, go to about 3:00.


It's a Louie!

  1. That's really funny. It's fun to see such a young Bob Hope.

  2. What a gem. I love the gag with the endless sand coming out of the shoe. How did you find this?

  3. Regarding Bob Hope: A while back, I was listening to some of his broadcasts made during World War II, and was amused to note that, *even then*, he was making jokes about being old. Little did he realize just *how* old he was going to get . . .
