I agree, she was adorable, especially in her silent films. I think that because she was so often cast in roles that required her to play mousey spinsters, people overlooked her beauty.
"Bring on the provender!" Many generations before my own, but I enjoy Mr. Field's work more than any other of the era. He is an iconic character like few other.

"albeit from me to bedazzle a lady with flattery..." W.C.'s dialogue is unique to him and his culture at the time. But, no one spoke as did (in common parlance) -- even then. He is beloved.
Zuzu pitts was a real beauty.. ( see her in Greed) and a classic comedienne, and character actor.. who had an extremely long career. Always glad to see her !

According to Maé Questel, lwho voiced Betty boop and Olive Oyll for Fleischer studios, Zasu was the inspiration for her vocal interpretation of Ólive Oyl.
I must have been about 12 or 13 when I first saw this, I loved old movies....I thot I was crazy because I could never find it & everyone was like I have no idea what ur talking about...one day I found the book at a thrift store......aha! Now there is youtube to immortilize it...yeah!
I've read that there is a scene where Miss Hazy (Zasu Pitts) tells off Mr. Stubbins (W.C. Fields), but I've never seen it. It is missing from the DVD I have.
80 years ago my great aunt used to read the book to me, all I can remember is crying. Now I find it is a comedy. So much for memory, maybe there is a sad part in it some where.
There's not a writer in Hollyweird today who could even come close to creating anything like this. They're too busy trying to out-obscene each other with mindless garbage.

Za Zu Pits never turned in a bad performance! She is perfection! On top of all that she is darn well cute to boot.

Not to mention a great cook.
There was nobody like him before nor since. Truly one of a kind. Thank God we have him on film to enjoy forever.
Amen!
Agree 💯%
"Madam, if my palate verifies what the promise of my nose offers, your remaining hours of your maiden meditations are numbered." Pure genius
I love all his movies esp now I am 87😊

He's always coming up with obscure, fancy-sounding words that sound humorous.

@@Horzzo Search for W.C. Fields-isms. He's got a ton of 'em.
one of the worlds top ten best alcoholics
"You're drunk!"
"Yeah, and you're crazy and I'll be sober tomorrow and you'll be crazy for the rest of your life!"
One of the greatest
I love the way he talks
Me too.
SOOO MUCH FUNNIER THAN ANYTHING TODAY. ..
The greatest comedian ever

She had a cameo appearance in It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. I believe it was her final role.
sheer brilliance and one of a kind !
I hope someone would post the whole film! Thanks for the great snipets!
PURE GENIUS ⭐️😂😂⭐️
They meet that morning, they're engaged after dinner, married the next day. "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach."
ZaZus father fought in the Civil War and so did WC Fields father.
"The hours of your maiden meditations are numbered!"
What a verbal gift he had; he always kills me!
It's Shakespeare you stupid fuck.
He was a true genius.
fun to see Zasu Pitts. She was a fun actress to watch. Her eyes always caught my attention.
I heard that she was a commie but she absolved herself in front of the McCarthy committee investigating pinkos in Hollywood.

The great Zasu Pitts brilliant silent screen was star. W. C. was pure genius he had a way with words
Priceless
I'll be in love with Za Zu til the day I pass.
Ain't she the Pitts 💙💚💛💜
I was going to ask if she voiced Olive Oyl in the Popeye cartoons. Turns out Mae Questel did that, but she based the voice on Za Zu.
I always thought her name was pronounced with a "z," but according to the woman herself, her first name should sound, "Say-zu."
Thank heavens we don't see trickery like that today ! 😂🤪🤯
Excellent

Good old Bill. Sadly missed.
"Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" a great film , made especially so by WC Fields role in it .
WC and Zasu were perfect together! I got a big kick out of this movie. Classic stuff!
You know she's great when she almost upstages the great wc
Well, they say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach! 🥰😅
''Put in one egg and stir slowly''
😂
Bless her indeed.
Her and Thelma Todd were also great together
That's the way to eat pie.
Mr22thou. Damn skippy it is.
That's right the days of chivalry are over
This film is extremely ever seen on tv
Fantastic comedian
god bless wc
I bet you it's a very rare 20--30 year old who understand more than a word of two of what W.C. is saying.
My 34 year old son knows it perfectly , having been raised on WC Fields movies and loves 'em , still .
She says 'yes', I think he said 'splendid' as he sat down... haha..

Never seen this before. Amazing.
'Madam, will you marry me?'
'Yes.'
(sits down) 'Good.'

I've read that there is a scene where Miss Hazy (Zasu Pitts) tells off Mr. Stubbins (W.C. Fields), but I've never seen it. It is missing from the DVD I have.
I read that Zasu pronounced her first name as 'say-zoo'- she was originally name Eliza Susan but changed it legally.
Is there a Part 3? It seemed there was a scene at the end after WC took a drink, but it ended.
Would love to see more of it.
ZaSu Pitts Popeye's real Olive Oyl
lmfao hands her the small piece ..takes half the pie for himself
Well, I'm sure she can do other things very well. Like the laundry, clean house, and a pickle tickle now and then.
That's Zasu Pitts. Very funny actress.
Boss!
Zasu Pitts is amazing.
Funny character
..bring on the vittles
Zsa Zsa Pitts !
How good was he? I can watch them over and over
she reminds me of my x wife who couldn't even boil water
Glad to hear she's your ex wife.
My ex burnt water😂
@@JP-uj7mr How did she do that?!
Olive Oyl is Zasu Pitts...
Mae Questel deliberately based her voice for Olive on Zasu.
I now eat my pie like WC
"I realize a maden lady of your years and charm, shall we say charm, for arguments sake."
Drat those owls.
does anyone know the title of movie where a young boy shows wc his horse, and asks if it will live?
Mincemeat always looked like a glob of dead flies to me.
Now I know where the Florida Gators got their thing from.
They don’t make them like that any more.
Which field's piece of pie did he warn gloria jean, "do ya wanna turn out like zasu pitts?"?

You're probably remembering the death of James. That is in this film too.

Keokuk.

Who marry someone and then calls them Mr. Stubbins?
There’s a youtuber who calls her husband Mr Lastname. It was surprising and then charming.
when i was a kid, i thought zazu pitts was black. just sounded like a black woman's name to me.
