| User ReviewZoran Si first watched this movie when i was really little and i still love it!! |
| User ReviewJohn LNot his best, but among his better films. Teaming with Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy in a feature film was an excellent move. It takes some of the comedic burden off of Fields and provides a little more variety. The banter between Fields and McCarthy's irascible character is priceless. It gives a glimpse at why their running feud trading quips and insults on the Chase and Sanborn Hour radio program during the 1930's and 1940's was so popular. The two were a magnificent match for trading one-liners, and Bergen's comedic timing, like Fields', was superb. |
| User ReviewTimothy PSolid W.C. Fields flick matching wits with Charlie McCarthy |
| User ReviewMegan SFields is at his finest in this but the whole ventriloquist sub plot is very annoying. |
| User ReviewEd Q"You Can't Cheat an Honest Man" is a mediocre film and a lousy vehicle for W.C. Fields. Much of the runtime is devoted to other performers, and the circus setting doesn't allow for much of Fields' trademark humor. |
