Old Fashioned Way (1934)

With few curtain calls and lots of creditors, traveling theater impresario Marc Anthony "The Great" McGonigle (W.C. Fields) stakes his troupe's fortunes on letting a wealthy, stage-struck-and untalented-widow (Jan Duggan) join up. Will he be able to deal with her ill-mannered infant (Baby LeRoy) before his backers bring out the hook? Fields' juggling prowess gets displayed in this favorite vehicle co-starring Judith Allen, Joe Morrison, Oscar Apfel, Tammany Young. 71 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; theatrical trailer.
