Garv Discusses W.C. Fields on The Forgotten Filmcast
Hello out there in Internet-land,
Even though this website is on a temporary hiatus, I mentioned that I might return from time to time when I have something of interest to announce. Well, now is one of those times.
Your friendly neighborhood curator of the Bottom Shelf made a return appearance on Todd Liebenow’s Forgotten Filmcast, discussing the 1935 W.C. Fields comedy, Man on the Flying Trapeze. The podcast posted today, and links are provided below.
Todd’s Forgotten Films blog focuses on the movies that time forgot, and each episode of his podcast takes a look at an individual “forgotten film” with the help of a rotating group of fellow film bloggers and podcasters. I’m honored to join the list of illustrious alumni that have joined Todd on his show.
You may remember that I joined the podcast twice previously, covering Abbott and Costello’s Who Done It? (1942) and Billy Wilder’s Avanti! (1972), respectively. Not only is the third visit notable as our first discussion of a movie without a titular punctuation mark; it also features the first podcast appearance of my 14 year-old Bichon, Natasha. Natasha appears uncredited in the background, barking her head off and trying her best to divert my attention. It’s much less distracting on the recording than it was in the room at the time.
By the way, in addition to the podcast links immediately below, I also provided Amazon links to several of Field’s films on Blu-ray and to recommended books on the comedian.
Here’s the podcast. Enjoy:
On this week’s episode of the Forgotten Filmcast, Todd is joined by William Garver from It Came from the Bottom Shelf to look at a film from comedy legend W.C. Fields. It’s 1935’s Man on the Flying Trapeze, which believe it or not has nothing to do with the circus.
