 Rating:  - You've Been Told!W.C. Fields takes some getting use to. When I was much younger I enjoyed watching many of the great comedians from Fields' era. I was\am devoted to watching Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, Harold Lloyd, Bob Hope, and Buster Keaton. But for some reason W.C. Fields didn't interest me much. I had difficulty understanding the persona, finding the humor in his work. It should be pointed out I was only 3 or 4 years old at the time. In fact I really didn't become a fan until I was about 20. But now ... Read More Rating: - Good But Not Great FieldsI enjoyed this movie as I do all of Fields' films but it can't hold a candle to his best work. The really wonderful thing about W.C. Fields' movies is that the supporting cast usually is very funny as well and gets some hilarious lines (as opposed to most of his comedy legend rivals who almost never let the secondary and bit players shine.) Fields' plays a born loser, widely disliked in his hick smalltown, who spends his time trying to concoct inventions. On a return train trip from an unsuccessful ... Read More Rating: - A LESSER-KNOWN FIELDS GEM.A remake of Field's 1926 silent SO'S YOUR OLD MAN has W.C. playing Sam Bisbee, a drunk and an unsuccessful inventor who resides in the small town of Crystal Springs. His daughter Pauline (Joan Marsh) hopes to marry Bob (Larry "Buster" Crabbe), the son of the well-to-do haughty Murchisons. Mrs. Murchison is livid about her son's association with Pauline - until she finds that Mrs. Bisbee's maiden name was Warren: she's a descendant of a prominent Virginia family. Amusing comical antics ensue...The title ... Read More Rating: - W.C. Fields Strikes Again!As the film opens, it's late at night and we see an inebriated W.C. Fields slowly making his way up the walkway to his front door; as he moves along, he staggers off the path and has an encounter with a tree limb that raises havoc with his straw hat and knocks it off, which gives Fields-- the all-time master of physical comedy-- a field upon which to ply his craft to the fullest. He makes the simple task of refitting chapeau to pate engagingly hilarious. And once he makes it into the house (shoes in hand, ... Read More Rating:  - No Stars. It's not complete.Watch out for heavily edited videotapes of classic W.C. Fields films. This is one of a series of such films, originally about 90 minutes in length, that have been trimmed back to 60 minutes, probably for Saturday kiddie matinees. The cutting appears to be indiscriminate and crucial scenes have been lost. Update: Complete versions of this film are available, as other reviewers have pointed out. Be sure the version you obtain is complete. Browse for similar items by category:
