#79 - Six Short Films
and now we have six short films - (one silent) that comprise the bulk of the shorts work that W.C. Fields did in between his main films -
they're kinda hit and miss for me - one was so funny - (The Golf Specialist) that I asked my wife to watch it with me - a couple others weren't nearly as humorous and seem to just be like The Bank Dick, short vignettes stitched together from 2-3 routines - the physical humor was especially good in The Golf Specialist
This one is out of print but several of the films are in the public domain due to copyright renewal screwups and can be easily seen on YouTube or the internet archive so if you like the guy go looking cause you're not violating the law to watch them
The DVD had no special features but it does have subtitles if you like those on your english flicks - somedays I feel like my hearing is going so bad it doesn't hurt to have them :) Or maybe it's the quality of the sound on these old chestnuts
allrighty - thanks W.C.
