★★★★★ · How have I never seen this?? · Bonny Kate · 2024-02-28
Hilarious! And I can't help but wonder if I've discovered the source of many of my Dad's jokes... I always suspected he was missing on the delivery... funny every single time - until the 50th - or maybe until I turned 8... This is my Fave Discovery so far on the Archive... and there have been quite a few...
★★★★★ · W C Fields Excellent in "The Dentist" · porterville · 2012-03-04
This is one of the best W C Fields movies, this one classified as a short since it is less than 30 minutes. Comedy at its best. Enjoy.
★★★★ · It’s more of the adult Fields … · Rob11754 · 2022-10-29
In this one, Fields is more of the cranky adult. It’s a collection of bitterness, contempt mixed with some great physical comedy. The funny daughter interactions in his films were a common theme.
