Radio review – Biography – WC Fields (1956) ***

Radio biography of the famous comedian, the chief note of which today is hearing reminsences from Field’s friends and colleagues who have since become legends themselves – including Maurice Chevalier, Errol Flynn and Leo McCarey. I was particularly interested to hear Flynn tell a few Fields’ anecdotes – he chuckles away , having a good time; you get the impression from Flynn’s writings he was a strong raconteur and its interesting to hear an example of it.
