Wayne and Shuster Take an Affectionate Look at... (TV Series) W.C. Fields (1964) User Reviews

Much more than just clips!

[Gblakelii · 8/10 · 7 November 2023]

Wayne and Shuster do more than just introduce and comment on film clips of W. C. Fields movies. They give biographical sketches, do pretty good imitations, roll off some trivia and even play a brief radio clip of Fields and Charlie McCarthy. Many stills of the main subject as well as others are included. A big surprise is a recreation of the actual Ziegfield girls! Some of the stills of Fields as a bearded young man you may not have seen before. Find out about the comical portrait of William Claude that hung in the famous Hollywood restaurant, Chasen's. The only complaint one may have is that the selection of clips could have been wider, with shorter clips substituted for the long ones. As this episode was released on DVD as an extra with box sets, it's best to watch last.
