"Tastes more like cornflakes" Fake snow in movies during this period was often made of cornflakes painted/bleached white. "As my Uncle Ichabod said, speakin' of the city, 'It ain't no place for women, gal, but pretty men go there."
Yeah, I really liked the "corn flakes" comment! During Fields' film career, the filming would take a very long time--each take Fields would ad lib something new and crack up the crew and they'd have to do another take . . . over and over!
I came here from Running Gag on TVTropes. Specifically the bit where he gets snow in his face every time he says 'It ain't a fit night out for man or beast.'
@@packerbacker69 We got these symbols for quantity from the Arabs, who got it from the Bharatians: 1 2 3. By your logic, these symbols are not recognized parts of the English language. Are you going to stand by your statement now?
You may very well be right, but as we all know, this expression of numbers as written are referred to as Roman numerals. Don't confuse the situation. The date is wrong no matter how it's written. It's not a conundrum, as Fields would say. but languages are not confused dear, as Roman is not a language.
Apologizing for playing his dulcimer with his mitts on - what more proof could there be that W.C. was indeed the very definition of a refined gentleman? And see also: `My, what symmetrical digits` for conclusive proof.

". . .with a kick she learned before she had been saved." There are soooo many funny parts/bits in this film.
Everything about this movie is perfect. Bravo Mr. Fields!
The running gag is hilarious when it doesn't happen. No snow in the face at the very end. Perfect
Clyde Bruckman pure genious director and W.C. Fields the great comedian. This is pure gold and a perfect winter movie.
Brockman also wrote a lot of the 3 Stooges shorts
The fact Chester walks in cooly in a suit on night not fit for man nor beast lol
Happy to see this posted!
Gave it a thumbs up! It was short and I really enjoyed the latest in silent film technology! Almost like I could hear it!
What I loved to have seen here 😊
Is the transition from fast actions in with real time stagecraft.
Was all on one setting ,😊 brilliant 👏
This is too good to be true love it
Actually very good “ EANT A FIT NIGHT OUT FOR MAN OR BEAST “!!!😁
I think he got that from George Washington

Tod Browning ...what a great director....do you agree.....? oh this is by Clyde Bruckman ...Who directed:The General 26...Magnificent!!
Thanks for that info!
I'll just give this contribution: It ain't a fit night out for man nor beast!
... With a kick she learned before she had been saved...lol
and what a kick!
Haha...this was wonderful!!
he was very good with mustard
From now on, when I leave the house, I'm going to say "I think I'll go out and milk the elk".
This could have been a skit on the Carol Burnett show. Exact same kind of comedy, with Tim Conway playing Chester
The fact that it's so obviously someone offscreen tossing a handful of snow really nails down the comedy.
Calling the Lena elk with his moose Horn should have got the Oscar for best pun of 1933
& they both flinch at the very end!
This song has the same tune as "The Betsy Blee Story "on an episode of Wagon Train.😂
Names his elk and his fiddle Lena.
Such honor.
Fields was a genius.

5:43 “Tastes more like corn flakes”
I'm confused. The opening credits clearly state MCMXXXIII. That's 1933 by my understanding of Latin.
Also, not a silent film lol.
I'm on your side boys, 1916 as a date for this film is to Ludacris to be typographical error.
I think you mean Roman Numerals.

"It ain't a fit night out for man nor beast..." wait for it......
Not silent.
he's joking, knucklehead!
It is if you turn the volume right down
I wonder if he ever made it over the rim?
sequel coming soon!
Does anyone know who wrote the song?
Back again as it aint a fit night out for man or beast
Not the 1916 film!
The "1933" in the title should've been a pretty big clue.
Im actively looking for the 1916 feature. Anyone know where to watch it? or if it would even exist on DVD?
Surreal absurdity at its finest!

Apparantly you can play a stringed instrument with gloves on.
Only the top players can pull it off though.
…the saddest song I’ve ever heard. Got any ippicack?
Ipecac, milk of magnesia, I don’t mind.
Back again good night ma good night chester good night pa good night chester dont forget to leave the window a little open chester i wont ma love it no wonder the cinemas were full in them days

Awful damn chatty for a silent film. Funny never the less.
