Expecting another humorous film, a la "You Can't Cheat An Honest Man," I was disappointed in this W.C. Fields effort. I just didn't find it that funny or, to give him a even break, not up to his standards.
Oh, it had a few funny segments such as Fields jumping out of an airplane and the cool Keystone Cops-like chase scene at the end. It also had a cute 13-year- old Gloria Jean, who showed us a good voice for a young girl. However, that alto voice is a bit too high for me.
There were several songs in this film and none of them were any good. Most of the humor was Three Stooges-like stuff and it wasn't very funny. The Stooges did better at that sort of thing.
Sorry to see Fields go out like this (his last film.) In the end, spending your money buying this film proves the title, us being the "sucker."
