I believe the funniest thing about this movie is that is was not as funny as I thought it would be. This is W.C Fields material, and if you don't like these early comics on film, you won't like this one. But Fields makes a point in this movie to hate kids, to be nasty to people (especially some women), and to degrade work. This would be a great film for your collection of early comedy, and Fields is always collectable, even if you don't like the humor. In this film, as the title implies, he's a somewhat lazy, irresponsible bank guard. From the time you meet his character, you just know this isn't going to go well (in the funny sense). Regardless, this is fine little film and worth the watching if only to see the social relationships of the time. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 12/4/2020
