Down the Hatch!

A quick run down of some of my favorite moments from one of my favorite WC Fields film: The Bank Dick.

1. It's funny to see him use the chaser in a wrong way
2. His dainty way of washing his hands is funny as a contrast to the way he slammalams the booze
3. It's a nod to the idea of a finger bowl, used for rinsing one's hands between courses during high-class meals
4. Mr. Sousè is not, despite his best efforts, high class
5. That is a bad-ass kick at the end. (He was a pretty amazing clown)

Layers! 


(Go watch all of it, it's amazing top to bottom. From threatening a child with a planter to a bit part for Shemp)
