Mississippi - 1935 - 7/10

Love, honor, manhood.
Pacifist Quaker refuses to duel, is branded a coward, and his Southern belle dumps him.
Fortunately, the riverboat captain has need of a singer for his floating casino.
The Quaker is renamed Colonel Steel, the singing killer!
Bing Crosby fine as the smooth vocalist, trying to win back his wayward fiancée.
W.C. Fields as Commodore Jackson is the real reason to watch this.
That gargle of his is that of the blustering showman, and his physical humor is peerless.
