W.C. Fields Comedy Collection: Volume Two (DVD, 2007, 5-Disc Box Set)

Volume Two contains some lesser known Fields movies, but the viewing will please old Fields fans as well as newcomers to his craft. The five films spotlight Fields through various stages in his career, from 1934's "You're Telling Me" to 1941's "Never Give a Sucker an Even Break". This collection has a little bit of everything, from a hilarious car chase to an exhibition of Fields' amazing juggling skills, done without special effects; AMAZING!! Typically, Fields receives abuse from family, friends, and strangers but manages to do good in the end, akin to an early version of Larry David in "Curb Your Enthusiasm".

The collection is nicely presented in a coloful holder with excellent liner notes and pictures of Fields' movie posters. I look forward to Volume 3, which I hope includes "Mississippi" with Bing Crosby, "Tillie and Gus", and "Six of a Kind". I recommend to anybody who likes vintage comedy.

I've waited for decades for Univeral or Paramount to re-release Fields' movies and had hoped they would remaster them in the process. Well, my dreams have been answered! These movies are some of the best comedy ever to come out of Hollywood and in today's world of cheap, off-color, shallow humor, W.C. Fields stands heads and shoulders above any and all comers. Ever since I was a kid in the 60's & 70's, my dad pounded into my brain that Fields was the greatest comedic actor of all time - and he was right! We used to get up at 2:00 a.m. to watch his films on late night Cleveland television back in the day. Now I can pop in an excellent quality DVD any time I want. They are all great in their own right and I think the quality of the restoration of these films is nothing short of remarkable. Buy these for yourself and buy them for your kids to show them that "real" humor doesn't need to demean, be profane, or have shock value to be hugely funny. Enjoy!

This is a great addition to one's W.C. Fields collection. There are some of the not as well distributed movies included. Have really enjoyed his antics, and some of his juggling feats can be seen. Hope they come out with a third set of W.C Fields' movies. Like the design of the DVD case, DVD's are stacked.

It does not get any better than this if you are a WC Fields fan. The content is without question (It is WC Fields!). The bonus is that any audio and grapics has been well preserved and optimized in post production and preservation. In other words, it has never been better! If you are a WC Fields fan, this is a must have!! Volume 1? I have to buy it now!!

Love it. Bought Volume 1 and just had to have Volume 2. You have to be a W. C. Fields lover to appreciate his movies. Love his wit, sarcasm, and facial expressions whether he's being henpecked or putting something over on someone.
