Here's a 1930s Comedy Romance for you! Even my husband (the more serious type ;-) laughed out loud several times while watching this. Large-mouthed funny-man Joe E. Brown, "Natural Born Salesman and Master Mechanic", and Guy Kibee, grouchy, old-fashioned Lumberman, both did comedy well! Notice the mechanics of the "Earthworm" (Caterpillar) Tractors! Maybe the farmer's most useful "tool" has a historical time-capsule in this funny film. **Pssst, Friends! Would you help me make a few cents for my time uploading Classic Movies by letting the commercial run through? (Or... if you're in a generous mood... please "SUPPORT" me--even $1 a month would be sooo appreciated!--by clicking on that blue "support" word with the heart inside, on my HOME page, in the right-hand corner--see it? Thank you--reeeealy! ;-) I hope you enjoy this film! Let me know if you'd like me to dig for more Comedies to share, ok? The Cast and movie trivia is listed below. Here's a little Trivia: "Fredrick Schmitt, from Peoria, IL, was the stunt tractor driver for Joe E. Brown. Fredrick was a long-time employee of Caterpillar at when this movie was filmed."
