Way Down in the Corn (1943): Picaresque character-study of two hapless drifters who vow to stop drifting as soon as they can find some haps. Their epic quest takes them from the coat-check room at the Stork Club to the stork-check room at the Coat Club. This may be the first U.S.-produced film in which a nude pastrami sandwich played a double role (sandwich on plate; second sandwich on platter). [Note: The liquid pastrami in the martini glass was played by the director's nephew.]

Way Down in the Corn (1943): A necessity for any student of animation, this film was the last and best made by Fred Rossie, an early competitor of Walt Disney who never had his rival's business saavy or creativity to be quite frank. This film was his only major artistically innovative work though it faired even worse than his others at the box office. Rossie retired from animation though he later made a money in the manufacturing of transistors, but no one gets fame doing that sort of thing, and his name drifted into relative obscurity next to the rising star of Disney.

Way Down in the Corn (1943): The fox, determined to keep the Crow away from his garden, reads a box, "How to Fox Crows", which explains, "Crows are allergic to scarecrows." So he offers to hire a scarecrow willing to take the job. The crow disguises himself as a scarecrow, is hired, and instantly devours the fox's entire farmyard crop and even gets the fox blown up in a dynamite trap.

Way Down in the Corn (1943): "Farmhands, ranchers, countrymen, lend me your ears ... of corn." So begins this unusual Shakespeare spoof, where the only Caesars are salads. Gaia Cassius, an Earth-mother figure, awaits the fertile silt of the "Tides of March," announcing, "I come not to bury seeds, Sir, but to raise them."

Way Down in the Corn (1943): An educational film on proper foot care, produced by Dr Scholl.

Way Down in the Corn (1943): The idyllic life of a Nebraska farmer is shattered when two drifters come to the farmhouse looking for work. One is a hardened grifter looking for an easy mark; the other is a young man down on his luck, still idealistic but forced into petty crime to survive. When the young man falls in love with the farmer's daughter he tries to protect her and her family from the grifter - but in the end blood is spilt.
