A fantastic film which to showcase Fields' brilliance

A fantastic film which to showcase Fields' brilliance, the classic "The Bank Dick" remains essential to audiences and critics alike. It is indeed a feature film, but the seamlessness of the screenplay by Fields himself makes it feel no longer than one of his shorts, and still retaining of the original genius by the man with the hat.

A masterpiece. By this time (1940) his whole act was fully realized and perfected. No need for Mae West or Charlie McCarthy to get in the way, as they did in his first two Universal films. This time, Universal allowed Fields to have this film all to himself so the film has more of his personal stamp on it. Fields knew what was funny. The film is a testament to his skills as an actor and writer. If you see just one Fields film, this is it.
