In one of his most famous roles, W.C. Fields plays Egbert Sousé, an unemployed drunk who unwittingly captures a bank robber and lands a job as The Bank Dick. It’s Fields at his most hilarious, inebriated & foul-tempered best, with perfectly timed one liners, double takes and sight gags. And The Bank Dick is one for the comedy ages, a raucous & absurd masterpiece that’s best experienced with an appreciative audience!
“Probably Fields’ best film.” – Roger Ebert
“For anyone who simply likes to laugh at the reckless manities of an inspired buffoon, we recommend The Bank Dick. It’s great fun.” – Bosley Crowther, The New York Times
