THE BANK DICK
October 23, 2019  | By David Bianculli  | 1 comment

TCM, 9:30 p.m. ET

 
The second of three TCM comedy classics shown tonight, this is W.C. Fields’ 1940 masterpiece, The Bank Dick. It’s about a town drunk who accidentally prevents a pair of bank robberies, and is rewarded with the job of bank guard. The humor begins with the inebriated central character’s name: Egbert Sousé.
