Screen images from W. C. Fields' films are combined with captioned dialogue to recreate many of his classic comedy routines. Shemp Howard appears on several pages, as the book recreates "Black Pussy Cafe" scenes from THE BANK DICK (1940).
Other recreated comedy sketches are taken from TILLIE AND GUS (1933), INTERNATIONAL HOUSE (1933), YOU'RE TELLING ME (1934), IT'S A GIFT (1933), MAN ON THE FLYING TRAPEZE (1934), THE OLD FASHIONED WAY (1935), MY LITTLE CHICKADEE (1940), YOU CAN'T CHEAT AN HONEST MAN (1939) and NEVER GIVE A SUCKER AN EVEN BREAK (1941).
Two variant covers appeared on the 1972 hardcover edition... first with a more plain white color design, and then it added some red color to the image. Printed in a softbound edition in 1973 by Avon Books.
(Refreshing the page will alternate the editions pictured.)
