Never Give a Sucker an
Even Break (1941)
This witty parody describes how one man's perilous attempt to sell a story to Esoteric Studios gets him a series of abuses and guardianship of his niece after her mother is killed while filming a stunt scene. Adventures continue when "Uncle Bill" takes his niece to Mexico where, after another unlikely accident lands the two in the realm of the man-eating Mrs. Hemogloben. The two journey to a Russian colony with the hops of selling wooden nutmegs only to encounter a man who is father to a duo of boys who formerly harassed Uncle Bill. The film brings laughter upon laughter with Uncle Bill's constant duping mimicking the actual story Esoteric Studios refused to buy. The cast includes: W.C. Fields, Leon Errol, Gloria Jean, Billy Lenhart, Maragret Dumont, Kenneth Brown, Mona Barrie, Franklin Pangborn, Susan Miller, and Charles Lang. Directed by: Edward F. Cline.
