Spencer Charters brought a genial, small-town comic presence to Hollywood and frequently played sheriffs, hotel clerks and other flustered local officials. The Wizard of Oz sweeps a girl into a magical land, My Little Chickadee marries a con artist and a card sharp, Christmas in July thinks an office worker won a slogan contest, and The Bride Came C.O.D. strands a pilot with a runaway heiress. It Happened One Night and 42nd Street round out the list.
01 A con man and a sharp-tongued frontierswoman enter a marriage of convenience to exploit the other.
