W. C. Fields stars as an eccentric strongman leading his broke, fake country at the 1932 Olympic Games in Million Dollar Legs, a wild satire of politics, patriotism, and professional sports! Far off in the hinterlands, the humble nation of Klopstokia is short on dough – but rich with athletes! Thankfully, American salesman Migg Tweeny (Jack Oakie) hatches a scheme to repair the country’s coffers with Olympic gold medals – but only if he can whip those Klopstokian amateurs into shape!
Brimming with sight gags and nonsense dialogue, Million Dollar Legs deserves a gold medal for its well-deserved place among the pre-code era’s most surreal and anarchic screwball comedies.
