W.C. Fields stars as Egbert Souse, an unemployed, henpecked drunk who spends most of his time at the Black Pussy Cat Café. But things take a turn for the absurd when Souse inadvertently captures a bank robber and is rewarded with a job as a security guard. (official distributor synopsis)
Reviews (1)
I definitely liked It's a Gift more, but Fields deserves recognition for being simply the right kind of madman and willing to do anything for entertainment. His situational and verbal humor are simply excellent, and at times he will impress you with what he has to say, especially with the expression on his face. It's definitely not entertainment for everyone, but once this chubby guy grabs your attention, he won't let go.
