Reviews for You Can't Cheat an Honest Man

Trailer

6.7 / 10 1h 16min

Fields plays "Larsen E. Whipsnade", the owner of a shady carnival that is constantly on the run from the law. Whipsnade is struggling to keep a step ahead of foreclosure, and clearly not paying his performers, including Bergen and McCarthy, who try to coax money out of him, or in McCarthy's case, steal some outright.

"Never trust a ventriloquist or a barber". Edgar Bergen's ventriloquist sucks much of the comedy out of this WC Fields vehicle
