OK Fields
28 May 2010
I didn't find this to one of W. C. Fields' better films. It had its moments, but really seemed more of an Edgar Bergen movie than a W. C. Fields. Until reading the synopses on IMDb, I was unaware of the "feud" between Fields and Charlie McCarthy. So I can see the impetus for trying to cash in on the popular radio feature. I understand that there was a different style in humor in those days, but it was before my time, so really only the very best examples end up resonating with me. I was a bit impressed with Constance Moore, with whom I was unfamiliar. She was utter eye candy and acted her role as The Great Man's daughter superbly. I must look up some more of her work.
