Documentary retrospective on the iconic comic's early life and later film career. Starting out from poverty, then developing into a rather amazing juggler, the comedic aspect of his act soon took over, transitioning to film shorts, and then to those well-known features. Together they established his now legendary status. There's little of his personal life except for brief reference to his later alcohol problems. Oddly there's no mention of his 46-year marriage to Harriet Hughes or of any possible Hollywood romancing. Instead, the narrative consists almost strictly of screen career, including the notorious straddling scene from The Dentist (1932). Also included are snippets of his many co-stars, including Charlie Chaplin, and Fields' perfect female counterpart Mae West. Then too are several snippets showing how his legendary misanthropy carried over off screen, as well. All in all, it's an entertaining if none too revealing compilation for both fans and non-fans alike.
