DAVID LYNCH on W.C. FIELDS
 

In interviews through the years, David Lynch always listed W.C. Fields as his favorite comedy actor and It’s A Gift as one of his favorite films. Citing W.C. Fields portrait of the human condition and exaggerating what we all witness as the social reality worthy of criticism and empathy.

 
Jay Weissberg of Variety International and Pordenone Silent Film Festival has said, "I'm not surprised that It's a Gift was one of Lynch's favorite films -- it remains one of the most deliriously anarchic and freeing movies ever made. I'd be surprised if it wasn't one of Buñuel's favorites as well. If only we had a popular artist who could similarly skewer bourgeois morals and self-serving power in the same way." (January 2025)
