Sommario/riassunto

At his death in 1946, W.C. Fields left behind a vast assortment of notes, outlines, scrapbooks, letters, scripts, scenarios, and photographs. His grandson, Ronald J. Fields, has edited and woven this wealth of hitherto unpublished material into a unique new portrait of the great one--in his own words.
