Considered a comic classic but not my cup of tea. No recommendation here.

I chuckled a few times, but Fields' slapstick drunk humor never really won me over.

One of my favorite Fields movies. It has all the usual Field comedic scenes plus a good car chase scene. A couple of Fields movies, beer and a tub of popcorn make a great Saturday night.

Viewed March 23, 2022. W.C. Fields' starring vehicles move at their own pace and internal logic, and this classic comedy where he bumbles his way into becoming a bank security guard is no exception. All of the gags are pitched in line with Fields' woozy, incensed temperament, and it's a genuine pleasure to spend 75 minutes in his quietly frustrating world. Plus, his character is named Egbert Sousé, and that's objectively funny.

Haha, it's funny because he's debilitated by alcoholism.
