ABOUT
Before he ever made a movie or spoke a word onstage, W. C. Fields was one of the greatest pantomimists and comedians in the world.
His career spanned the whole of the twentieth century's in burlesque, vaudeville, the legitimate stage, silent pictures, talkies, radio, books, and recordings. Only death prevented him from working in television. James Curtis tells the story of Field's life and work. Drawing on Field's papers and manuscripts, he shows us the passion and intellect that fueled Fields's talent and the background that gave such bite and edge to his comedy.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome images.
