Million Dollar Legs

Midnite weekend screenings happen on Friday & Saturday nights (meaning arrive on Friday and/or Saturday night by 11:45pm for seating, the movie starts after midnite)!

Director: Edward F. Cline Run Time: 64 min. Format: 35mm Rating: NR Release Year: 1932

Starring: Jack Oakie, W.C. Fields, Ben Turpin, Lyda Roberti, George Barber, Andy Clyde, Hank Mann

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.
