Title: W C Fields
Post by: besilarius on January 29, 2015, 07:37:21 AM
It's the birthday of the man who said, "Comedy is a serious business," actor W.C. Fields , born William Dukenfield in Darby, Pennsylvania (1880).
W.C. Fields said, "There comes a time in the affairs of man when he must take the bull by the tail and face the situation."
"Everyone must believe in something. I believe I'll have another drink."
"If I had to live life over, I'd live over a saloon."

Should you ever get the chance, his movie, "The Fatal Glass of Beer" is really good.
"She was built like a brick chicken house."

Hey, The Fatal Glass of Beer is free with Amazon Prime. I may just have to fire it up this morning.

One of my favorite W.C. Fields' lines is: "Now is the time to take the bull by the tail and face the situation." Or something like that.

He was one of the great comedians of his time. We could use someone like him today.

I can relate to that one!

If I would have lived in his time I would have loved WC Fields. Are there any good biographies on him?
