One of my favorite examples of this is when he purchases multiple cars so that he can make an example of road hogs in "If I had a Million." Great job again!toto2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09652682900471649463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-9941863314665430612011-01-27T17:24:30.192-05:002011-01-27T17:24:30.192-05:00I haven't seen much from Fields, and I haven&#...I haven't seen much from Fields, and I haven't caught this one yet. I do like my humor dry, so maybe I should pick up a few of his films. I see that this film is available on DVD (as part of a set), as well as a number of W.C. Fields' movies. It's always a treat to read your posts, Kim, particularly when it's clear that you're a fan.sarkoffagushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00922698736476674377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-27328923145201028982011-01-27T08:50:28.688-05:002011-01-27T08:50:28.688-05:00Have not seen this one but have seen some other gr...Have not seen this one but have seen some other great Fields works like NEVER GIVE A SUCKER AN EVEN BREAK, THE BANK DICK, MY LITTLE CHICKADEE and a few shorts THE DENTIST (a small masterpiece) and THE BARBERSHOP. Most interesting was the D.W. Griffith silent "SALLY OF THE SAWDUST. I am going to have to get a hold of a copy of this.

I think he occasionally got stuck in movies where his comedic talents were a little shackled. For example, I looked forward to seeing MY LITTLE CHICKADEE for years, but was disappointed when I did because it tried to be a Fields movie and a Mae West movie and wound up being neither. But in outings like IT'S A GIFT, NEVER GIVE A SUCKER AN EVEN BREAK, and THE BANK DICK, Fields was in his element...and very funny.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.com
