Parts of this movie are great--particularly those with WC Fields. In particular, I liked the horrible and cowardly way that he dealt with the attack on the train--pushing hapless little kids with cap guns out the door to face the onslaught! But, you'll no doubt discover that although this is a WC Fields and Mae West film, they don't interact much together, as they apparently hated each other and had to often be filmed separately. Mae's moments are generally flat compared to Fields' as she once again plays the trampy old broad who every man MUST possess (god only knows why). While the film certainly has some excellent moments, there are better films by Fields you can watch (such as IT'S A GIFT, THE BANK DICK, etc.). As for West, this is probably a better than average effort from her as at least her character is slightly different than her usual 1930s fare.
score 7/10
