Donald J @TheRealAckervold 09/04/2023 I believe this is the reason why people are so afraid to go to the dentist. The idea of the scary dentist (mirrored by Steve Martin in Frank Oz's "Little Shop of Horrors") has been around for quite some time, and Fields makes the best out of a ridiculous situation.

See more 03/27/2012 What people fail to point out in reviews is that W.C. Fields was really daring with the sexual undertones in some of his gags. See more 08/29/2010 W.C. Fields' super racy short about a dentist who manhandles his female patients while keeping his young daughter repressed in an upstairs bedroom. I was awed again and again by the sheer audacity of many of these jokes, and I can only extend admiration to Fields and his crew for getting them past the censors- or at least some of them. While there isn't quite the laugh-out-loud delivery structure present in his peers' films (Chaplin and the Marx Bros.), there is an asinine lunacy about the picture that makes it a very worthwhile watch.
