Universal’s second volume of W.C. Fields titles finally hits the shelves, and today I focus on two of them, “The Man on the Flying Trapeze” (not a circus picture, title notwithstanding) and “Never Give a Sucker An Even Break” (one of the most meta pictures of the era; Fields plays an entire scene with Butch and Buddy in front of a gigantic billboard for “The Bank Dick.”) What both pictures have in common are fleeting appearances by Fields’ longtime mistress Carlotta Monti. She plays Fields’ secretary in “Flying Trapeze” and studio chief Franklin Pangborn’s receptionist in “Sucker.” Long after Field’s death in 1946, Monti’s autobiography was published as “W.C. Fields and Me.” It was turned into a surprisingly good movie in 1976 starring Rod Steiger and Valerie Perrine. To see the genuine vintage Fields, besides the first box set Universal has put out “The Big Broadcast of 1938” (Fields and Bob Hope appear together in a single shot of this bizarre 90-minute musical) and included the ensemble comedy “Six of a Kind” on something called “The George Burns Collection,” which consists of a single disc containing three Burns and Allen movies. The best DVD version of Fields’ public-domain shorts is put out by the Criterion Collection; and Kino has a nice edition of D.W. Griffith’s silent “Sally of the Sawdust” with Fields, which the Great Man remade as the least notable offering in the new box set, “Poppy.”
