Double Feature: THE BANK DICK, 1940, Universal, 72 min. Dir. Eddie Cline. W.C. Fields’ most popular feature casts him as Egbert Sousé, a layabout who inadvertently catches a bank robber and is "rewarded" with a job as the bank’s security guard. A matchless cast, including Una Merkel, Franklin Pangborn and the one and only Shemp Howard, helps make this an authentic American classic. 80th Anniversary! TILLIE AND GUS, 1933, Universal, 58 min. Dir. Francis Martin. W.C. Fields and Alison Skipworth are perfectly paired as con artists who come to the aid of their niece when a crooked lawyer tries to steal her inheritance.
