What Man on the Flying Trapeze Is About
Ambrose Wolfinger, a hard working man ground down at home by his wife and his mother-in-law, gets time off work to go to a wrestling match by telling his employer that his mother-in-law has died, and the excuse blows up in his face. Nothing is spared him that day: the burglars who get into his cellar find the home made drink down there and start singing, the man is taken into custody over the alcohol in his own house, and parking tickets and surly wrestlers come at him in turn, and a single day’s escape turns into a chain of disasters. The sixty six minute American comedy directed by Clyde Bruckman and W. C. Fields puts Fields’s own stage type, the patient and grumbling family man, at its centre. Fields takes the lead, with Mary Brian, Kathleen Howard and Grady Sutton in the cast. It was completed in 1935 and builds a comic logic in which one excuse breeds the next.
