      Dan Bates Los Angeles Free Press The film emerges as a thorough delight. Jan 9, 2020 Full Review Ken Hanke Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) What sells the picture is Fields first -- and the teaming of him and Skipworth coming in a strong second.

      Audience Member awesome pre-code fields Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Alison Skipworth and W.C. Fields play Tillie and Augustus Winterbottom, a husband-and-wife team of con artists. The larcenous couple is summoned to a small town by their niece (Jacqueline Wells) and her husband (Clifford Jones) when the niece's father dies. Hoping for a sizeable inheritance, Tillie and Gus discover that the legacy consists of one rundown ferry boat. This is a rarely seen Fields movie that is very, very good. W.C.'s scene of mixing paint is a must see, it's classic Field's. It may not be in the same league as "It's a Gift" or "The Bank Dick," but it nevertheless offers a virtually nonstop barrage of wonderfully comedic scenes from start to finish. Fields and Alison Skipworth were a perfect cinematic match. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
