No but I would sure like to. Bootlegs are available on overstock. Everyone I have found that is available has been edited to buzzard etc. I worked on this flick and would love to have a copy.
shareHow does one know what "edited to buzzard" means? Should I be looking for cut out scenes, or cut out bad language? Perhaps when he was in the steam bath with Barrymore or doing his dentist routine in vaudeville?
shareThere is a guy on YouTube selling copies for 4.99 plus shipping. But it looks like it was captured in VCD format, which ain't too great. Still, 4.99 is pretty cheap. I'm working on a better version but don't know if there is really any point, because as andretouchard said, maybe the version I have is "edited to buzzards." And yet I don't know what that means. I do know that the the dentist routine in this movie is not nearly as risque as the original Fields skit, nor is there much, if any, bad language in this movie. So I just don't know
shareFrom what I remember this was R rated (like "Gable and Lomabard" was) when it came out. Now it supposedly has a PG rating. Maybe it was cut--the original R rating was (I heard) for language, nudity and sexual situations (that was probably "The Dentist" skit).
shareI just purchased a very good copy from joesclassicmovies.com.

It is now on Hulu and there is a link on the "W.C. Fields and Me" IMDb profile to that movie.
