Clark and McCullough in "The Iceman's Ball" (1932)

"Deep down in your heart, you know that sooner or later, somebody is going to get that pie!"

Bobby Clark and Paul McCullough were high school buddies who entered showbiz via the circus, minstrel shows, vaudeville and burlesque. When the Marx Brothers moved to Hollywood, Clark and McCullough became the most prominent comedy team on Broadway.

This short also features Fred Kelsey, Vernon Dent, Jimmy Finlayson and Walter Brennan. The director is Mark Sandrich, who would go on to direct the great Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers musicals.

Hilarious! Thanks for sharing this and the other classic C&M comedies. I've read about them for years, but never thought I'd have a chance to see any of them.
