WC FIELDS VOL 1

Three early shorts featuring WC Fields in all his inebriated glory.
THE DENTIST - Perhaps his best known short. An Angry Dr. Fields shows up at the office after a bad golf game ready to inflict some pain. This is the film with the infamous dentist chair sequence in which Fields puts a pretty woman into the chair, assaults her with some double entendres and, in an attempt to extract the tooth, gets entangled with her in a number of Karma sutra positions. This risque sequence was later deleted from most release prints. We are pleased to present the original, uncut and uncensored version. (1932)
GOLF SPECIALIST - Not! features Fields as a gentleman who tries to teach the game to a pretty young woman. This, his first talkie was based on one of his vaudeville routines. (1930)
THE FATAL GLASS OF BEER - The prohibition melodrama "Stolen Bonds" via Mr. Fields will drive most viewers to drink. (1933)
