Pool SharksEdwin Middleton film; W.C. Fields, Marian West, Larry Westford
Two suitors vie for the attention of one woman. Among their battles for supremacy is a game of pool. This is Fields' first movie, a 9 minute silent one-reeler film.
W.C. Fields performs several pool table tricks. Unfortunately, an
opportunity was missed to adequately document the
pool game routine
Fields was performing on the stage at the time, as the filmmakers
instead opted to substitute horrid stop-motion trick photography in the
pool scenes.
