Flashbacks

"Gosha" is also the beloved name of "Chuminji", a cute and baby Indian god of good health. He is favourite of pink-rosy cheeked plump kids. Hithero popular with small kids, the god is supposed to be childlike. He is offered "pohe" (an indian dish consisting of flattened rice) and "gulaabjaamuns" (also known as "waffle balls", it a dough consisting mainly of milk solids and flour in a sugar syrup flavored with cardamom seeds and rosewater or saffron) in worship. He rides on a duck and keeps a rabbit as an advisor and a cat as bodyguard. He lives in "Goshdesh". When happy, he blesses anyone with pink skin and plenty of fats, making them look babylike.

That WAITRESS is a RIOT!

As for the rest, no Indian –– or Native American either for that matter –– that I'VE ever seen has ROSY PINK CHEEKS!

I liked W.C. Fields best as Mr.McCawber. Even thugh he was American and not British casting him in that role was a stroke of genius.

Of course the immortal Edna May Oliver, as Aunt Betsey Trotworth, was also an American and SHE was the best thing in it by miles. Also ,Lionel Barrymore as Mr. Peggotty who lived near the sea in an upside-down ship in Yarmouth, was also an Aemerican. Funny how one n/ever notices these discrepancies, despite the oh-so-veddy British presence of Basil Rathbone, as the despicable Mr. Murdstone and the woman who played his bossy, equally hateful old maid sister. The quality of the performances and the entire production is so fine, we just don't notice such petty trifles.
