Customer Reviews of The Bank Dick - Criterion Collection
Criterion and Fields... A Match Made in Heaven Take a classic comedy and combine it with a company dedicated to bringing you the best quality products on the market and what you get is a DVD that is worth the money! If you want to really enjoy WC Fields in one of his last truly great films, get this version! The print is pristine and the sound is cleaner and clearer than I have ever heard it. It's a lot of money, but worth it for such a good movie.
This is not a review the movie itself in detail here. Most people know this classic, and a lot of people have done that already. This is for the DVD. I am dissapointed they couldn't of done a commentary track, but I will forgive them since it is such a nice print of the movie.
The Criterion edition is for movie lovers and lovers of WC Fields. I hate wasting money or spending extra when not needed, but this is worth it. It's quality.
W.C. Fields is too funny...
this movie may cause you to lose faith in the possibilities of comedy in the new millenium. W.C. Fields was the best curmudgeon ever and this is one of his greatest films. His wife and his children hate him. Only his friendly neighborhood bartender (played by 4th or 5th stooge, Shemp Howard) loves him. As usual, W.C. gets himself into loads of trouble and finds a way to get out of it with a bunch of money. The final chase scene is rivaled only by It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, What's up, Doc?, and Seven Chances in it's superfluity of gags and danger.
Watch this movie....or die!
Pretty Good for Sketch Comedy
If this had been made 20 or 30 years later, it would have been great television stuff like Monty Python or Benny Hill. Essentially plotless w/ Fields careening around. Fun but no reason to own it.
