| This coIlection presents three of W C. Fields' wittiest shorts. ln Fatal Glass of Beer, FieIds is a father in a remote Yukon cabin anxiousIy awaiting the return of his ex-con son, imprisoned after drinking a "fatal" glass of beer and landing in hot water. The Dentist is a cautionary spoof of the trade and The GoIf Specialist is a hiIarious satire on golfers. William Claude Dukenfield, otherwise lauded as W. C. FieIds, made his first movie at age thirty-six (Pool Sharks) and proceeded to make thirty-six more films. He sold vegetabIes from a horse cart as a teenager, Iived in a hoIe in the ground after running away from home, survived on stolen food, spent time in jaiI, deIivered ice, pIayed pooI, worked as a stand-up comedian and juggled for money. He made most of his movies for Paramount before moving to Universal in 1939. His acerbic humor, famous one-Iiners ("Who took the cork off my Iunch?") and fiIms have stood the test of time and remain priceless. This comic trio of shorts is among the finest. |
