    It’s amazing how *trim* W.C Fields was when he initially starred in films. Most of us (myself, at least) remember him as an overweight older man wearing fancy clothes, always puffing away at his cigar with drink in tow. I’ve come to appreciate his many characteristics, always funny & full of interesting shenanigans! Now I know why he was such a well-known legend! I’m really enjoying these short films he was obviously known for; some of his actions, antidotes & gags will cause me to burst out in laughter ~ (I wonder how many of his skits were pure ad-lib) ~ Thx a million!

      In his early days he NEVER drank alcohol but carried a trunk full of it just so that other actors would visit him in his trailer. Alcohol would interfere with his coordination and he really needed to watch that because at the time he was the world's greatest juggler.

    At the beginning, they show what everybody had in their kitchens in the 1920s and early 1930s, an icebox, which we now call a refrigerator. I called it an icebox when I was a kid in the 1940s because that's what my parents called it, but we never had one, only the electric refrigerator. This is the first time I recall ever seeing how it operated: ice on top.

    • @feralbluee

    • @tomitstube
      @tomitstube 3 года назад +3

      first time for me too, heard the term but didn't know it was anything other than a refrigerator with an "ice box" that froze stuff. this apparently was the cooling mechanism. wikipedia says ice boxes were referred to as "refrigerators" by people in those days. they became "ice boxes" after electric refrigerators were invented. selling ice was big business back in the day. shipped everywhere, especially down south.

    • @johnweir3168

    When I was a kid, I enjoyed all the things my grand folks did, from T.V. to radio to vaudeville; not merely the contemporary programming available to me.
    To this day, I enjoy an old radio program as much as anything recently done. I feel fortunate,
    I'm not sure why.
    Fields for example was a comedic master, long before my time, but
    'comedy' for me anyway has no 'contemporary' meaning.
    I can't say thank-you more sincerely enough to those of you who make it a point to post these critical treasures.

      Fields would often write his own movies but never took credit with his own name. He made up name like Charles Bogle, Otis Criblecoblis, and Mahatma Kane Jeeves - the last name was a take on broadway where the rich guy always told his butler "My hat, my cane Jeeves".

    Great! Funny, racy, and with a lot of humanity. Some of the gags are telling of the times. The exchange "What is it? - Water. - No thanks." Is about Prohibition that was in force at the time. There are lots of things going on here, all clever, and a some things we don't pick up on now in a changed culture almost 100 years later. We're lucky to still have this film.

    That chunk of plaster that hits W.C. Fields at 15:57 wasn't supposed to be. Note how the patient hides the urge to laugh by covering her face with the scarf. W.C. cracks a grin but remains in character. Even the dental assistant turns her head away to save the film shot.

      @premanadi Год назад

      The assistant does break up a bit, but I think the scarf is because some plaster dust went in the patient's mouth and she's choking a bit, not laughing. Note that there is an added sound effect when the plaster hits his head, so it is quite clearly intentional.

    • @alvexok5523
      @alvexok5523 5 лет назад +7

      1Rdby, yes, that straddling stuff was not shown again until the 1970s. But in the next several decades after the 1970s, it got much more suggestive than any pre code early 1930s material ever was. Pre code never had what we had after the 1970s and what we have today, including full frontal nudity and fully nude sex scenes in films in regular movie theaters, strings of F bombs in films, TV shows, etc., millions and millions of porn videos on the internet and everywhere. The world was still less raunchy back then than it is today, even with all the speakeasies back then. Now violence, that's another story. Violence was not better back then than today, with all the gangster controlled speakeasies and such.

    • @farmalmta

      One of WC Field's skits had him set his golf bag down on an active termite mound, with a pest control guy worked into the routine. Naturally, the termites were quick acting and hilarity ensued as WC's clubs disintegrated in his hands and shots went wild.

    That WC Fields is sure an a cranky old goat, someone you would spend as little time with as possible, he would have very few friends, funny video though, did not know this Comedy Act existed, thanks You Tube.

    This film has so many classic lines.
    "Never mind what I told you to do! You do what I tell you!"
    "This guy's so stupid he doesn't even know what time it is."
    "What time is it?"
    "I don't know."
    Watching his assistant trying not to laugh is pretty fun too.
