Egbert Sousé leads an ordinary life but is about to have an extraordinary day. Henpecked at home home by his demanding wife Agatha and more or less ignored by his daughter Myrtle, he sets off for the day. He comes across a movie shoot whose drunken director hasn't shown up for work and Egbert, saying he has experience, is hired. Afterward, he gets credit for stopping bank robbers and is rewarded with a job as the bank guard. He seems headed for trouble however when he convinces his son-in-law Og, a teller at the same bank, to use $500 for can't lose investment. The investment is a scam however and when the bank examiner arrives, it looks bad for them. As you would expect however, it all turns out well in the end.
Leave your thoughts about The Bank Dick.
| Q Network Film DeskJames KendrickThe Bank Dick is a highly revered film in the annals of screen comedy, and it is easy to see why. |
| Apollo GuideBrian WebsterFields' favourite running jokes are all here -- the drink, hatred of children, and preference for time in the bar to pretty much anything else. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrThis 1940 film seems to spring straight from his cranky, beleaguered, convoluted personality, with no concessions made to film form, audience enjoyment, or common sense, and still it's very funny in a desultory, strangely private kind of way. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeNot Fields' best, but a classic all the same. |
| User ReviewJacob GOnly for champions. And children, girl-children, around 18-20, marrying age. |
| User ReviewAlex WInspired lunacy. Everyone connected with this film is well-deserving of that most prodigious honour, "a hearty handclasp." :-) |
| User ReviewPavan DA genuine comedy classic, with a sterling performance from WC Fields. If you can get hold of it, The Criterion DVD release is sterling. |
| User ReviewThommy LFeilds' absolute best - not bad for a man in his sixties! |
| User ReviewZhanyi JTo not get Fields is to not get comedy period. If Will Ferrell is your cup of tea, get your ass back over to Blockbuster and stop bothering people. |
| User ReviewDustin GA hilarious movie with a silly but still pretty interesting storyline. Fields is amazing, using slapstick, funny lines and real inebriation to his advantage throughout the film. The character isn't really any different from any other character he's played, but he does it with bravado. A great comedic sight to behold. |
