W.C. Fields 6 Short Films Pool Sharks 1915 Golf Specialist 1930 Fatal Glass of Beer 1932 Dentist 1932 Barber Shop 1933 Pharmacis
1915 - 20 min. - Black and White
Country: USA
Genre: Comedy

LaserDisc Movie Storyline:
A collection of six early short comedies from W.C. Fields: POOL SHARKS (1915, silent), THE GOLF SPECIALIST (1930), THE DENTIST (1932, Mack Sennett), THE FATAL GLASS OF BEER (1933, Sennett), THE PHARMACIST (1933, Sennett), and THE BARBER SHOP (1933, Sennett).

LaserDisc Movie Review:
W.C. Fields filmed Pool Sharks, his first film, while he was appearing in the Ziegfeld Follies in New York City. Fields and his rival (Bud Ross) are both in love with the same girl. They are constantly fighting over her. After disrupting a picnic, they decide to settle their dispute with a game of pool. After some amazing pool shots (via trick photography), they end up breaking pool sticks over each other's heads and throwing pool balls at each other. In the end, the girl spurns them both. This film is a disappointment to those who know Fields' character from later films, with Fields wearing a fake-looking moustache and acting more like Charlie Chaplin than his later, well-known personality from sound comedies ---- though he does dump a small child out of a chair so that he can steal it. The pool shots are done with stop-motion photography because his trick pool table was used on stage every night and could not be moved to the movie studio for the filming. Fields would make one more short and then would not work in movies again until 1924. ---- Bruce Calvert

Movie Review for LaserDisc LD:
The short comedy The Fatal Glass of Beer stars the legendary W.C. Fields as Mr. Snavely, a prospector who is awaiting the return of his prodigal son, Chester, who has been in prison for the last few years. The last time Snavely saw his son was when the boy consumed "The Fatal Glass of Beer," and set out to the Big City in order to pursue a hedonistic life. The film is meant as a spoof of Northern melodramas that Fields enthusiasts have come to regard as an almost surreal masterpiece. ---- Perry Seibert

Movie Review for LaserDisc LD:
W.C. Fields stars as the subject of this classic comedy short, which he also wrote the screenplay for. The dentist is a misanthropic, absent-minded sort who keeps an office in the same house that he shares with his rebellious young daughter. One morning she announces that she has fallen in love with Arthur, the iceman. Fields won't have it, and scares the poor Romeo off when he tries to make his daily "delivery." The hubbub makes him late for his golf game. When he tees off, the ball knocks an elderly man out c
