Best Acting | 1942 | Edward G.
W.C. Fields appeared in a chapter which was cut from the final theatrical version. It had been restored to the 1996 VHS version. Also in the segment are Margaret Dumont Marcel Dalio, and Phil Silvers. However, when it was later on released in DVD, the Fields segment was deleted again.
Amused by Charles Boyer's thick French accent, Rita Hayworth giggled her way through the filming of their love scenes together.
This was Paul Robeson's last movie because he was disgusted with the stereotypical caricature of African-Americans. He hoped this film would be a realistic view of poor sharecroppers, but it was not. Note the idea of shared use of land, in effect, a Communist collective. This concept was inserted by Robeson, who was a follower of Communism. He was later blacklisted for his beliefs.
The sequence where J. Carroll Naish breaks into the store to steal the coat was shot after it was decided to cut the Fields episode.

"Paul Orman: What did you want to say about guns, Mr. Halloway? John Halloway: Ever use 'em? Paul Orman: Yes, on the stage. Paul Orman: Shoot 'em? John Halloway: On the stage. John Halloway: Not real bullets? Paul Orman: No. John Halloway: Just blanks, eh? Paul Orman: Yes, only blanks. We actors prefer them."
"Paul Orman: Do you know what it's like to look into a woman's eyes when she's lying?"
