| User ReviewBen A. VA fun classic W.C. Fields, this time playing an inventor who makes a possible million-dollar idea: car tires that don't go flat. Although the idea of Fields playing an inventor sounds like lots of ideas for wacky gags, it's not really about that, but about the failed attempts and the depression of the inventor. Oh but believe me, it is very funny, with even the scene of attempted suicide being incredibly funny... |
| User ReviewCody CVery funny Fields film that contains some classic moments such as walking an ostrich and a nice reenactment of his short "The Golf Specialist." |
| User ReviewEd QDespite an absurdly funny climactic golf scene, "You're Telling Me!" pales in comparison to Fields' best work. |
