Can someone please help me identify an old American black and white comedy movie from the 1930s/40s I think.
In the style of Capra/Wilder/Hawks
Similar in the vein of "you cant take it with you" and "On borrowed time"
From what i recall it is set in a a small town and has some eccentric odd ball characters in it including a local drunk. set in the early 1900s,may be earlier
cant remember the plot but had a a character that kept repeating a funny/stupid catchphrase , something like "Wahooop , chick, chick,chick" throughout the film.
Plot may have something to do with a local competion/election/contest
Please help,,,this has been driving me crazy!!!
