The first half of the movie is as funny as any Fields' film.

This is a comedy that overall holds up

This is a comedy that overall holds up well today, and the movie is quintessential for W.C. Fields' shticks (including his juggling and Vaudeville routines toward the end that are visually stunning to watch). The musical number by 'Cleopatra Pepperdale' coupled with Fields' reactions on the couch his hilariously good (although it would've been better to have that musical number as a bigger part of the movie throughout). Parts of the story and plot either are confusing or lacking, and the movie is not entertaining in every single part... but at an hour and ten minutes, it is worth watching all the way through. Good movie.
