Summary: Splendid short comedies
Review: Extraordinary dry wit from the master. The Dentist and The Golf Specialist are great slapstick, must viewing for comedy lovers. The Fatal Glass of Beer is something a little different, however: a satirical morality play, at the climax of which Fields--one of entertainment's great drinkers--performs a droll and tuneless song about the perils of drink. There are few broad laughs in this short, the plot of which has something to do with the Yukon Gold Rush, but Fields here may have strivenmore to puzzle than to amuse.

Summary: Poor synchronization
Review: It would appear that the makers of these DVDs were unaware that movie film needs a specific length of film leading to the sound decoder. Most of the audio is out of sync.

Summary: Another display of comedy from one of the kings of comedy.
Review: The comedic mannerisms of the veteran comedian W.C. Fields, as he utilizes them in his comedy, are highly effective. Suffice to say that any person who enjoys' his films will find themselves in a state of almost continuous laughter. These films are good fun for everyone and are for those who delight in the solemn insanities of that king of comedians, Mr. W.C. Fields. He is wholly enjoyable, and this yarn give him ample opportunity to display his wares. If your a fan of W.C. you must add these films to your collection.

Summary: Two classic Fields comedy routines on a low-budget tape
Review: This is a low-budget presentation of a pair of early W.C. Fields comedies. "The Golf Specialist" is a 1930 two-reeler in which Fields does the famous golf act he had performed for years on stage. Historically this 20 minute film directed by Monte Brice is of some note because it is also Field's first sound film. "The Dentist" is another two-reeler, directed by Mack Sennett in 1932 from Field's own script, which involves some more golf shenanigans, some smart talk with Babe Kane, and an encounter with a cake of ice before we get to the dentist's office and Fields has to deal with a pair of female patients. The tooth-extraction turned into a wrestling match is one of the classic all-time routines by Fields. However, I bet you can find a better copy than what we have here.
