There is no plot here, just a series

There is no plot here, just a series of gags, occasionally interrupted by Gloria Jean's opera singing. Most of the jokes fail to land.

This is one funny movie! The plot is

This is one funny movie! The plot is ridiculous, but W.C. Fields pulls it off. You really need to watch this more than once to get all of the great lines Fields delivers under his breath! An unsung classic that you must see!

Fields made two masterpieces ("It's A Gift" in

Fields made two masterpieces ("It's A Gift" in 1934 and "The Bank Dick" in 1940, the third film of a four-picture deal with Universal). "The Bank Dick" was a hit, so Fields shot the works on what he knew would be his last starring film, 1941's "Never Give A Sucker An Even Break". The works which he shot was an all-out lampooning of the movie industry, with obvious autobiographical references of the fights that he had with the studios. He even played himself! The film is a hodge-podge and not one of his greatest films. Fields was heavier and less mobile than ever before, but still entertaining because he is so naturally funny. The disjointed appearance of the film was party due to Universal's post-production editing in an attempt to make the film more commercial. It was only moderately successful at the time, but it's reputation has grown through the years.
