Hay Foot (1942) HAL ROACH COMEDY

Stars: William Tracy, Joe Sawyer, James Gleason
Director: Fred Guiol
Colonel Barkley is very proud of his assistant, Sergeant Doubleday, who has a photographic memory. Through a series of misunderstandings, the Colonel thinks the gun shy Doubleday is an expert marksman, and he sets him up in a shooting match against the division's two shooting champions!

I really enjoyed this second Doubleday film. The jokes are all the more funny, for their simplicity. Hal Roach did well to carry his talent, this far into the talkies. Thanks for uploading it, in these miserable Covid-19 times.

@PizzaFlix What a fun and hilarious movie. Brains vs. Brawn. Thank you so much for posting this for us to enjoy. The dog was priceless.

Anything with James Gleason and directed by Fred Guiol is going to be good. Thanks for posting. Never saw this before.

Love Hal Roach

[@oilhammer04]

So funny! It would be nice if Hollywood made more like this today.

[@DavidRice111]

Yep and if 1945 Fords were back, and men still wore suits & fedoras, and women still didn't even hold hands on the first date. None of that will ever come back and neither will the best of hollywood. At least we have TH-cam (while THAT lasts).

That's the cutest little dog! good film too. thanks.

WOW, fantastic stateside WWII era made comedy movie,exactly the type of comedy my father would have enjoyed during his 4 years in the USAAF. James Gleason is my alltime favorite actor from the 1930 to early 1950’s era movies. He is a 1st class actor along with Edna May Oliver in the Hildegard Withers murder comedies of the era. He also has acted with Zasu Pitts. WOW, DOUGLAS FOWLEY, JOE SAWYER 😊and Noah Beery. Mark Harmon’s mother is Elyse Knox the beautiful young daughter of James Gleason the Colonel. Thx for this classic 😊 William Tracy is HILLARIOUS!

[@lindarocco9974]

Wonderful Wonderful movie. So funny. This is my second time watching it.

[@barbaram5787]

A young Noah Beery, also played Rocky in the Rockford Files.

So funny and talented, and their sense of humor and can take a joke. Much better than the stuff they make for us to watch today. Great entertainment ❤👍👍

[@denisefrancisco4251]

I Love watching these films 🎥, I really enjoy them 🥰

[@tedhollandrcp]

Great light Hal Roach comedy. Elyse Knox, the leading lady, was Mark Harmon, and Kristin Harmon's mother. She was Ricky Nelson's mother in Law.

Why look! It's Pepe from Matuschek's "Shop Around The Corner" - another Fine Flick, In Roach We Trust!

What a brilliant dog

[@suzieqwonder3089]

Head phones a friendly must!

Hal Roach Studios, 8822 W Washington Blvd, Culver City. Those must be the Baldwin Hills in the background.

@11:22~ "It ain't a GUN soldier- It's a rifle or a weapon!" (least- that's what my drill sergeant screamed at me!) While I'm at it- the antagonist is only a buck sgt. while the star is a staff sgt. Where does that guy get off being insubordinate??

[@ladyleesutter]

Reminder to add to list to watch soon.
