When Oakie realizes how athletic all of Klopstokia&#8217;s citizens are, he decides to enter them in the 1932 Olympics &#8212; but Fields&#8217; detractors are anxious to ruin him, and enlist the help of seductress Mata Machree (Lydi Roberti) in distracting the athletes.\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>\n<strong>Genres, Themes, Actors, and Directors:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Comedy<\/li>\n<li>Joseph L. Mankiewicz Films<\/li>\n<li>Olympics<\/li>\n<li>Ruthless Leaders<\/li>\n<li>W.C. Fields Films<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Review: <\/strong><br \/>\nFilm fanatics might be forgiven for assuming that the film in <em>GFTFF<\/em> called <em>Million Dollar Legs<\/em> would either be about Betty Grable (nope, that&#8217;s the 1939 film of the same title) or Esther Williams (nope, that&#8217;s the 1952 film <em>Million Dollar Mermaid<\/em>, which isn&#8217;t included in Peary&#8217;s book &#8212; speaking of which, NONE of Williams&#8217; films are listed in <em>GFTFF<\/em>, which seems like an oversight&#8230;). At any rate, this early W.C. Fields feature (his first for Paramount Studios) is a surprisingly zany outing, similar in many ways to the following year&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=18877\"><em>Duck Soup<\/em> (1933)<\/a>, and also to Fields&#8217; final starring-role film, <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=18004\"><em>Never Give a Sucker an Even Break<\/em> (1941)<\/a> (complete with goat milk jokes and a fictional European-esque destination). In his article for <em>The New Yorker<\/em>, David Denby refers to <em>Million Dollar Legs<\/em> as &#8220;about as close as Hollywood&#8230; ever came to the spirit of Dada&#8221;, and this is an accurate description. While it&#8217;s not entirely successful, there are enough wacky surprises, off-the-wall interactions, and random elements (all the girls in Klopstokia are named Angela, and all the boys are named George; when asked why, Fleming simply replies, &#8220;Why not?&#8221;) to keep viewers at the very least interested in what happens next. Watch for a <em>weird<\/em> performance by blonde bombshell <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lyda_Roberti\">Lyda Roberti<\/a> (who died at the age of 31 from a heart attack), in her best known role. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Million-Dollar-Legs-Roberti.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Million-Dollar-Legs-Roberti-1024x767.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"479\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-59676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Million-Dollar-Legs-Roberti-1024x767.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Million-Dollar-Legs-Roberti-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Million-Dollar-Legs-Roberti-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Million-Dollar-Legs-Roberti-768x575.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Million-Dollar-Legs-Roberti-361x270.png 361w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Million-Dollar-Legs-Roberti.png 1369w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> The film&#8217;s title most likely refers to the insanely fast running speed of Klopstokia&#8217;s Major Domo (Andy Clyde), but is still rather a strange choice. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An enjoyably zany screenplay (by Joseph Mankiewicz and others)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Million-Dollar-Legs-Fields.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Million-Dollar-Legs-Fields.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"528\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18028\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Million-Dollar-Legs-Fields.png 528w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Million-Dollar-Legs-Fields-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Million-Dollar-Legs-Fields-300x227.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Million-Dollar-Legs-Motorcycle1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Million-Dollar-Legs-Motorcycle1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"528\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18029\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Million-Dollar-Legs-Motorcycle1.png 528w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Million-Dollar-Legs-Motorcycle1-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Million-Dollar-Legs-Motorcycle1-300x227.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo, but it&#8217;s strongly recommended.
