W.C. Fields in The Dentist

The Dentist 1932

After dealing with an amorous iceman and playing slapstick golf, a dentist treats assorted comic patients, including an unintentionally suggestive session with the sexy Miss Mason. An unconventional dentist deals with patients in Fields' classic Burlesque Trained fashion.


W.C. Fields

WC Fields, the original cranky old man. A bulbous-nosed, self-obsessed alcoholic who hated pretty much everything except drinking, he was a true eccentric and an unknown quantity in a time of Puritanism in the burgeoning American film industry. He was a breath of fresh air, and a stink bomb at the same time, almost uniquely finding huge success both on the Vaudeville stage and in Hollywood without compromising his "bachelor" sensibilities.
