Finally tracked down a videotape of this little classic, and was extremely impressed. A fitting send-off for Fields, as it takes the insanity of the motion picture business head-on, and lets his more "off-the-wall" humor take center-stage. Like the best of the Marx Brothers' classics, there's not much plot to get in the way of the laughs--just gag after gag after gag. My favorite scene? Uncle Bill going into a soda shoppe, and remarking to the camera, "This was supposed to be set in a saloon, but the censor wouldn't allow it. It oughta play just as well..."
