Summary:One of America's greatest comedians filmed in 1937, W.C. Fields. Here he was in a more pleasant mood than in his stage and screen persona. Perhaps because he had just earned critical acclaim for his role as Mr. Micawber in the film version of David Copperfield. The man who started out as a juggler in vaudeville was now a writer, director and star - famous across the Western hemisphere for his biting wit and style. NOTE: Date is approximate. This clip may contain footage from multiple events; exact date or dates may be unknown.
