WC Fields Mississipi Poker Game

[@edwardjtruskyjr1921]

Pure wonderfulness I like how he put the same stack of cards back in the same spot after the cut.

[@RaymondSell]

😂

[@ScienceFan1859]

All the rifflr shuffles missed completely too😂

[@everettoehlschlaeger8139]

One of his very best movies.. great in every way.. AND with a young Bing Crosby !!! B+W film quality is PERFECT !

[@russellnelson1129]

Is that Burgess Meredith, too?

[@MichaelEnniswardjr]

Oh shit bing and Burgess!? wasn't paying attention cuz my dad right now is got Jerry or Jeremy klauer or klower I don't know I was watching Eddie Griffin

[@MichaelEnniswardjr]

I wanted to show him how it's really done because klauer sucks somewhat

Fields was an absolute absurdist comic genius. Maybe the greatest of all of them.

I sort of adopted that Fields Flinch since I was in high school in the 1960s and first became a fan of WCF. Hilarity at its finest!

[@Brian-uy2tj]

I'm rolling on the floor this is so funny. I've always enjoyed W.C. Fields. I read his biography years ago and it is one of the most interesting biographys I've read. He was amazingly talented and funny as hell.

[@HankBukowski]

I'm your 1000th subscriber. Well well.

I love his reaction every time he has 5 aces. LOL Singular actor. RIP

He never fails to make me laugh.

It's all so ridiculous and goofy that you gotta love it.

[@gerardorcastellanos950]

An unappreciated comedic genius. He made it look easy.

You are correct 💯. Only those who knew his unique art truly appreciate it 😢❤.

[@hoofhearted6052]

Maybe my favorite Field's bit. His second shaken reaction gets me every time.

[@matthewgabbard6415]

I like it when he's the pharmacist and "helping" the guy play checkers.

[@johntechwriter]

Bill Fields carried on the vaudeville tradition of physical comedy. He was in his own way a gifted athlete.

[@hagerty1952]

As did the Marx brothers and the 3 Stooges. All got their start in Vaudeville.

[@jacksagrafsky4936]

One of the greats of comedy. Wish I had a deck of cards like his. But I think even with five aces Mr. Fields wins.

[@Shermanbay]

Does five aces beat a Smith & Wesson?

[@cityhawk]

@@ShermanbayIf the cards are bulletproof. 😝

[@vinnartaigh2076]

Well my 5 aces are suited. So I win

[@hartzell7407]

A lot of people mention his "non-cut," where he just restores the deck to its original position, but I just noticed the "riffle shuffle" at 00:17 where the two halves of the deck are totally separated, so the order never actually changed.

[@c3bhm]

Ha - nice catch - I'd missed that!!

[@ev6558]

Chico Marx did that whole little routine in Animal Crackers, 5 years earlier. Just kind of funny as Fields famously threatened to sue other vaudeville acts who took things from him.

[@kensolar69]

Ringo later used that in 'A Hard Days Night'.

[@davidmayhew4818]

A great scene, and there are others like it. Loved the water 'flames' of hell surrounding Fields. Once you are onto Fields there is no turning back. "It's a Gift" is the best.

[@retrodude9683]

W.C. Fields was one of those rare comedians that played the crooked guy. But he was still so lovable that you were rooting for the swindler! More or less I find him on a level with Chico Marx and his film persona of the con-artist. He was hustling people but you couldn't help but love him.

A fond memory for me was my step dad and I would always watch WC Fields movies when they showed them on late night WGN TV out of chicago in my early youth in the 60/70's in N. Illinois. I'll have to call him this week and tell him about this video. Thanks for uploading.

[@DaveSParty]

I loved the card cut! Hilarious. And the smoking gun trick.

[@gk10002000]

WC Fields was actually a world class juggler. Look on and you will see other videos of him juggling all sorts of things.

[@kensolar69]

Billiards champion too.

There is a cigar box vid here

[@racefan601]

[@Cue-pv3jg]

The first ‘shyster’ insists on using the red deck but Fields’ cards are blank and full of aces which he got none of. The other crook’s top hat is tall but Fields calling his man a scoundrel is comedy at its finest - a scene that elicits belly laughter every time I revisit.

Classic! The two guys in the top hats in the game later as they got older were very recognizable character actors in the westerns in the 1950's! And that was a young Bing Crosby at 3:13!

[@MrEdWeirdoShow]

No deck of cards has ever been allowed to have blank back covers, like these do. The idea was to not allow for drawing suites and numbers on them.

[@GaryCareyMusic]

They appear to be a solid colour back (you can see a faint white border in some shots). Whatever colour they were it mustn't have registered strongly on the film stock, a common problem with old black and white films.
