Customer Review: Wonderful
I've reviewed some of these movies in their VHS format. This and volume 2 are a great collection if you are a Fields fan, and I'm hoping there will be a vol. 3.
Customer Review: Classic Fields
If you love the comedy of W.C. Fields, this is an essential DVD. The prints of all the films are flawless. "The Bank Dick" is comedy the way Fields always wanted it--the purest distillation of his style among the later Universal films. "It's a Gift," from his earlier Paramount period, is simply one of the top comedy films ever made. The back porch sequence, taken from a vaudeville-style stage revue called "The Comic Supplement," is pure brilliance. "You Can't Cheat an Honest Man" costars Edgar Bergen and his dummy Charlie McCarthy. "My Little Chickadee" is Fields' famous costarring feature with Mae West. Both films are very funny. "International House" is a loosely structured early film with great Fields scenes and some lesser bits by George Burns and Gracie Allen. Overall, this DVD is a fine collection of Fields' most famous works (well, four out of the five).
