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."
