W.C. Fields and Me (1976)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 112m
Director: Arthur Hiller
Cast: Rod Steiger, Valerie Perrine, John Marley
Synopsis:
Biopic of the comedian, of doubtful veracity.
Review:
Steiger is immaculate but the perennial problem of biopics of lack of identification is compounded by the scant attention given either to Fields's films or evidence of his greatness; film chooses instead to focus on the nature of the man and his weaknesses.
