Now don't laugh, but I never knew W.C. Fields worked in a Griffith picture until I saw "Sally of the Sawdust" for sale on Image a few weeks ago. I ordered it, watched it & now it's in heavy rotation with my other Fields favorites. That's 80 years after it was released!
There are tons of movies that I've fallen in love with years, or even decades, after their release, but I've almost always known something about them before I saw them ("Kiss Me Deadly," "Hail the Conquering Hero," "Vera Cruz," "The Naked Spur"). But I hadn't ever heard of "Sally of the Sawdust," even though I've always loved all the Fields talkies.
