| User ReviewMatt MOn a day like any other, the barber of a small town comes face to face with an escaped criminal. W.C. Fields holds the pace, rhythm and tone of this funny short in the palm of his hand with his usual comedic style and creative gags. |
| User ReviewDavid KThis was a great short film from W.C. Fields. In it, the famed comedian plays a gossiping barber who is trying to survive, but also better the society he finds himself in. Through his quirky and witty dialogue, Fields really fits his part as the zany shop owner. It's not exactly a pivotal film, but "The Barber Shop" does show hints of Fields' future film, "The Bank Dick." Nevertheless, this movie is really funny and definitely worth a look. |
| User ReviewJonathan SCombining nagging women, dentistry, and a peculiar bass-fiddle fixation W. C. Fields bumbles his way through another 20 minutes of movie history. |
| User ReviewKevin NNot as radically asinine as some of Fields' other short works, but funny and well choreographed all the same. The funniest bits, as usual, involve W.C. interacting with children. His no-holds-barred approach to dealing with the younger generation is always hysterical and these scenes are no exception. While the story becomes a little clichéd by his very similar past routines, he finds ways of making this outing worth our while. |
