Which WC Fields movie is it where he keeps saying the word 'snake' and there's a prim dowager who faints dead away every time? Did I dream this? Googling has turned up nothing.
As I recall he's telling a rambling anecdote about a pet rattler who at some point "fastened his fangs into the intruder's fetlock" -- the only words I feel halfway confident I've got right are "fangs" and "fetlock".
