Poppy (1936 film)
Poppy is a 1936 comedy film starring W. C. Fields and Rochelle Hudson.
Eustace McGargle Fields, a con artist, snake oil salesman and exponent of the shell game, tries to escape the sheriff while taking care of his beloved adopted daughter, Poppy Hudson, who after pretending to be an heiress to win an inheritance, turns out to really be an heiress.At the time of filming, Fields was suffering the effects of his heavy drinking, together with attempts to stop drinking. He injured his back during the making of the film. These factors mean that Fields was not able to give his best performance. Fields was ill during the production, and a fairly obvious double was used in several scenes requiring physical exertion. He still managed a memorable performance, including these wellknown lines spoken to his daughter Poppy Hudson ........
