Almost unwatchably bad. Being 75, I had still never seen a W.C.Fields movie. It should have stayed that way.

Man on the Flying Trapeze tells the story

Man on the Flying Trapeze tells the story of a downtrodden man (played by the talented W. C. Fields) who just wants to go to a wrestling match on his first day off from work in 25 years. The film is pretty funny with the jokes and gags that the iconic W. C. Fields provided. As always, the great Fields always puts on a wonderful performance. A very nuanced moment in Man on the Flying Trapeze was the makeup especially when we see W. C. Fields look all bruised up because it contains so much symbolism in my opinion. The way he looks after a long and difficult day after dealing with bastions of inconvenience shows that not only was he damaged physically but also emotionally. His character was slowly losing his patience after dealing with series of misfortunes. Man on the Flying Trapeze is an impressive comedy.
