Movie Description
YOU CAN'T CHEAT ON HONEST MAN presents W.C. Fields at his best as he portrays the quick-witted, mean-spirited, degenerate drunk Larson Whipsnade. Whipsnade runs a circus and is constantly on the run from the law as a result of financial troubles. In addition to his legal difficulties, Whipsnade (W.C. Fields) despises Edgar Bergen and his dummy Charlie McCarthy, who are the only decent act in the circus. What makes matters worse is that Whipsnade's doting daughter, Vicki (Constance Moore), falls hard for the charming Bergen--even as the fabulously wealthy Roger Bel-Goodie is asking for her hand in marriage. Somehow all of this leads to a hilarious ping-pong showdown between Whipsnade and one of the Bel-Goodies. The story, written by W.C. Fields under a pseudonym, and the biting repartee between McCarthy and Fields make YOU CAN'T CHEAT AN HONEST MAN a classic comedy.

Notes
Edgar Bergen's dummy act with wooden man Charlie McCarthy was among the most popular radio shows of the 1930s. The feud between McCarthy and Fields originally developed via Fields' repeaded guest appearances on the show.

Fields was never the easiest star to handle, and YOU CAN'T CHEAT AN HONEST MAN required the work of two directors--Eddie Cline directed all of Fields' scenes, while George Marshall directed the rest of the film.
