You’re Telling Me!
As Sam Bisbee, an eccentric inventor with a taste for drink (and the nose to prove it), the legendary W.C. Fields couldn’t be more wrong. Before the day is through, Sam flubs his daughter’s marriage plans, shoots the tires out from under a police car, befriends a princess, lassos an ostrich, and becomes the darling of the country club set in a zany sendup of snobs, slobs, and golf that’s pure W.C. Fields. (Universal)
