W.C. Fields made many of his best films at Universal, while in his Sixties! The Bank Dick (1940) works on many levels. It has great dialogue, slapstick and a very sarcastic look at authority. This wonderful Lobby Card features W.C. as Egbert Sousè and Franklin Pangborn as J. Pinkerton Snoopington It has my highest recommendation.

I get the feeling I'd find this funny for all the wrong reasons...
I just saw this and it was brilliant. Full of clever lines and meanings.
W.C. Says to his future son in law: Don't be a moon pie, don't be a slack jaw..." as the son-in-law stands there with a blank look on his face. LOL
Thanks Vince
