Editorial Reviews

Product Description

W.C. Fields cultivated the persona of a misanthropic cynic and many found it hard to tell where the character ended and the real person began. Master juggler, Broadway headliner, and radio star, Fields eventually reached Hollywood superstardom. Included in this DVD are rare behind-the-scenes footage and home movies of Fields at work and at play, along with hilarious scenes from some of his greatest films.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fodder for the Fields fan, February 21, 2005
By Pitz (chicago, il. USA) - See all my reviews
Though this disc contained nothing that I had not seen before, it was presented so well that it was a joy to watch and is a very good capsulation for the average viewer who might be curious about the man . Very well done and a bargain to boot.It contains the clearest copy of Fatal glass of beer that I've seen.
