How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gleefully anarchic vehicle for W.C. Fields' misanthropic comedy, where the plot barely holds together and that's entirely the point. It's a carousel of insults, slapstick mishaps, and vaudeville bits held together by nothing but Fields' cantankerous charm.
