Period comedy tailored for its star and incorporating fragments of _The Drunkard_. Not so funny as it might be

Well, it's not tasteless like so many modern comedies, and you know that Fields's juggling couldn't possibly be CGI-enhanced, but it seems like every Fields movie is 82 variations on the same basic joke: "W.C. is a b.s.'er and a drunkard who somehow muddles through". The traditional Hollywood contempt for the audience makes its presence felt fairly early
