The Great One's at his best in five classic comedies. "It's a Gift" (1934) stars Fields as a hapless shopkeeper and family man who dreams of growing oranges in California. Comedy and music mix as Burns and Allen, Cab Calloway, and Bela Lugosi join wacky inventor Fields at the "International House" (1935). Watch as circus owner Larson E. Whipsnade (Fields) tries to pull the wool over the eyes of Edgar Bergen and puppet pals Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd in "You Can't Cheat an Honest Man" (1939). Fields tries to tame the Wild West--Mae West, that is--in the frontier romp "My Little Chickadee" (1940). And Fields, as layabout and henpecked husband Egbert Souse, accidentally foils robbers and becomes "The Bank Dick" (1940). 6 1/4 hrs. on five discs. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: French, Spanish.
