Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch
Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch ★★½ 1934
A warm, funny, and altogether overdone story of a mother whose husband abandons her, leaving the woman to raise their four children alone. It's Thanksgiving, so the rich visit the poor household to deliver a turkey dinner, and in the end all live happily ever after. Not one of Fields' larger roles; he doesn't even make an appearance until midway through the scmaltz. 80m/B VHS . Pauline Lord, Zasu Pitts, W.C. Fields, Evelyn Venable, Donald Meek, Kent Taylor, Charles Middleton; D: Norman Taurog; M: Val Burton.
