Critic Reviews for W.C. Fields and Me

All Critics (3) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (2)

Those problems aside [W.C. Fields and Me] offers a hilarious script by Bob Merrill filled with Field's biting, caustic humor, including all those memorable incidents he is noted for.

Donald McLean
Bay Area Reporter
The biggest trouble with W.C. Fields and Me has to be the "Me" being Monti.

W.C. Fields is a tough nut to crack and nobody in this movie tries too hard to crack him.
