From the back cover...

"W. C. Fields is one of the greatest cinema comics of all time, and his work is a model for writers and performers.  Each of these scripts is a little masterpiece of comic writing, hazy on plot but full of unbeatable one-liners and wisecracks --  most of them about the Hollywood studio system which made the films in the first place."
