W.C. Fields stars as an unemployed, henpecked drunk who spends most of his time at the Black Pussy Cat cafИ. Things take a turn for the absurd when he unwittingly captures a bank robber and lands a job as a security guard. Written by Fields under the pseudonym Mahatma Kane Jeeves and featuring one of his most hilarious performances, The Bank Dick is an undisputed classic of American comedy. Criterion is proud to present Fields last major film in a new digital transfer, with English subtitles for the deaf and hearing impaired.
