Description

Alexander Botts, the newest representative for the Earthworm Tractor Company, has only two problems- his total inexperience with mechanics and his extraordinary incompetence. That won't stop him from winning over his biggest prospect, Sam Johnson. Encouraged by Johnson's beautiful daughter Mabel, Botts will try anything to convince the fiery lumberman that his business needs Earthworm Tractors. Botts tries to prove the machine's strength by crushing cars, climbing mountains and pulling Johnson's house across town, but when the town council holds a tractor competition, Botts finally sees his chance to persuade Johnson and win his daughter's heart.Alexander Botts, "natural born salesman," was created by William Hazlett Upson for the Saturday Evening Post where he starred in an impressive 112 stories. Joe E. Brown brings the hapless yet lovable Alexander Botts to life with charm, whimsy and ridiculousness.

A REALLY GREAT COMEDY.
I AM ABLE TO WATCH A MOVIE MY DAD HAD TOLD ME ABOUT. IT'S A GREAT ADDITION TO MY COLLECTION.

A great classic worth buying.
This movie is a must have for anyone who likes slapstick humor and who is a cat skinner. You have to have operated a piece of equipment to really appreciate the full value of this movie. Well worth buying. The best parts is, there are no boobs or cuss words. A true classic.

One of Joe E. Brown's Best
Alexander Botts considers himself a super salesman, but he’s only selling quirky gadgets. His girlfriend, Sally, won’t pursue their relationship until he sells something more substantial and important. He lands a position selling Earthworm Tractors and creates havoc wherever he goes. The plot focuses on Alexander trying to make an impossible sale to the local lumber merchant and, at the same time, win over his daughter. This film is one of Joe E. Brown’s best with plenty of laughs, good acting all around, plenty of action, and plenty of suspense. Joe E. Brown can be hokey but he’s at his best here. You’ll enjoy this movie. ... show more

It gave us a wonderful afternoon. It was enjoyed by our nine year old granddaughter. No sex and no swear words just great entertainment. Gave us a chance to see what some of the early movies were like.

Earthworm tractors.
Fully met my expectations. Heard about Botts years ago, but this is the first time I have seen the film. Makes me want to read all the short stories about him.

Alexander Botts...Earthworm Tractors..Video
A 'slapstick' comedy done in the 1930s-40s style. The anctics of a tractor salesman (Alexander Botts), and the method of showing the tractors capabilities are humerous. Considering the time when this movie was made, and none of todays movie technologies (Computer generated images etc.) make it interesting. The challanges that the movie director had to make were pretty creative. A simple story line,silly antics, creative photography make this a light hearted movie that may help in reducing your daily "stress".....(Joe E. Brown, June Travis, Guy Kibbee, Dick Foran) ... show more

Earthworm Tractors
People who haven't read the stories may find this movie very funny, but my husband and I are old enough to have read the 'Earthworm Tractor' stories when published in the Saturday Evening Post. We were disappointed with this movie as Joe E Brown played the role of Alexander Potts, the main character, as a complete idiot. We both like Joe E Brown but this was not a story for his kind of humor, or the director had him play it like that. Whatever, neither of us liked the movie. ... show more
