Full Plot Details

Fields wants to sell a film story to Esoteric Studios. On the way he gets insulted by little boys, beat up for ogling a woman, and abused by a waitress. He becomes his niece's guardian when her mother is killed in a trapeze fall during the making of a circus movie. He and his niece, who he finds at a shooting gallery, fly to Mexico to sell wooden nutmegs in a Russian colony. Trying to catch his bottle as it falls from the plane, he lands on a mountain peak where lives the man- eating Mrs. Hemogloben. When he gets to the Russian colony he finds Leon Errol (father of the insulting boys and owner of the shooting gallery) already selling wooden nutmegs. He decides to woo the wealthy Mrs. Hemogloben but when he gets there Errol has preceded him. The Mexican adventure is the story that Esoteric Studios would not buy.

Movie Reviews

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 7/10 by Ken HankeNearly brilliant, nearly surreal, mostly funny
TIME Magazine - 7/10 by James AgeeFields has spent most of his adult life battling babies, dogs, censors, producers, directors, the world in general. From the shape of his latest picture, it is apparent that he has Universal licked.
User Review - 10/10 by Jacob GOne of the finest cups of mcha java one could ever dream to gurgitate. A bottle of the golden nectar you'd chase even if it fell out of an airplane. Utter goat's milk.
User Review - 10/10 by Christopher SBrilliant comedy and my second favorite W.C. Fields after "It's a Gift". Completely insane story and I can only imaging what the original story Fields submitted must have been like before the studio toned it down.
User Review - 10/10 by Art S"I didn't squawk about the steak, dear. I merely said I didn't see that old horse that used to be tethered outside here." Bizarre but brilliant. Fields gives free rein to his surreal flights of fancy in his last big film. My favourite moment comes near the end when he goes into an ice cream parlour and breaks the fourth wall: "This scene was supposed to be in a saloon but the censor cut it out..." (They did too!)
User Review - 8/10 by Luke RPretty great one. Approaches cartoonish abstraction throughout, to great effect.
User Review - 8/10 by Phil AA pretty girl is walking down the road. A lecherous middle-aged voyeuring W.C.Fields quips "Well hello there honey, everything under control?". This earns him a smack on the nose. Who said American humour lacked interesting characters. Worth a look for those who would appreciate 1930s depression absurdist humour from a true master.
User Review - 8/10 by Devon BA few too many musical numbers weigh this one down a little bit, but that doesn't burden Fields' typical hilarity. He's in top form and goes all out. Another great car chase at the end! #35 on list
User Review - 8/10 by Simon MEnjoyable nonsense, with some great skits and the car chase scene at the end is a real classic. Some fun musical numbers, good cast, especially W.C.Fields and Margaret Dumont.
User Review - 8/10 by Matthew GWith W.C. Fields' dry, drawling delivery, it sometimes seems as if any sort of coherent narrative thread isn't even necessary for him to make you bust a gut, and that's a good thing, seeing as Never Give a Sucker an Even Break borders on baffling surrealism in its lack of structure. It's a string of bits, with some working and some failing. Yet, even when they fail, they are often so absurd or so clearly inconsistent with anything else before that it still ekes a giggle out of the unsuspecting viewer. It's willingness to experiment and push the boundaries of studio comedies is a breath of fresh air, gulped down between the frequent laughs it inspires.
