And stepping into the time machine to go further back, we will find Andy Devine as a Shakespearean actor.

Sort of. He had a bit part in the 1936 Romeo and Juliet with Leslie Howard and Norma Shearer. "Wait for me, Juliet!"

Well no, that line wasn't in the movie. Or the play, either. Andy Devine's character was put together from two or three minor characters in Shakespeare's version. Talk about tragedies, it's too bad he never got a chance to do Lear or Hamlet.
