This is quite a hilarious W.C. Fields movie. It's also the first time he's teamed on screen with Edgar Bergen and his dummy, Charlie McCarthy, after previously doing so on radio. Their feud on that audio medium was very popular and it seemed to also work on the big screen as they would subsequently appear in another movie together. Some scenes may make one cringe like when Charlie dons blackface but in this case, it seems to be to keep from being recognized and not because of something against a certain race. Speaking of whom, this was another of Eddie Anderson's film appearances during a time he was also playing Rochester on Jack Benny's radio program. He doesn't get to be too funny but his reaction to possibly being W.C. Fields' victim involving an elephant gun was a pretty funny one for him. Bergen's other dummy, Mortimer Snerd, also appears and is also pretty funny. The plot about Fields' daughter's possible marriage to a rich man isn't much but does provide some highlights of W.C.'s low-income circus man mixing with High Society of which one of the women in that latter group is afraid of snakes to the point of fainting at the mention of one! There's so much that's funny here but I'll just say You Can't Cheat an Honest Man is highly recommended and leave it at that! P.S. I watched this on YouTube along with an intro and outro uploaded from TCM hosted by Ben Mankiewicz and Dr. Harriet Fields, W.C.'s granddaughter.
