Review of The Bank Dick (1940) by Joseph B — 06 May 2016
Eggbert Sousé (accent grave over the "e") is a bumbling drunk who barely supports his family and spends most of his time drinking. Souse is slang for drunk and Eggbert always must remind people of the accent grave.
After he accidently foils a bank robbery, he is given a job at the bank as the security guard. Typical of the work of W.C. Fields, a drunk with a shrewish wife, disapproving mother-in-law and awful children.
Entertaining, but not his best. That goes to "It's a Gift" from 1934.
