Juggling with Mr. Fields
(Full Length) In 1940s Hollywood, 64-year-old, irreverent, nearly alcoholic movie star W.C. Fields–shunned by film studios yet eager for work–grudgingly hires a young English manservant, while Fields’ live-in girlfriend Carlotta and his rising-actor friend Anthony Quinn vie for his attentions. But new servant Rodney brings a link to the past that will have shattering consquences, in this imagined look at the hidden side of an inconic film star and drama about longing and belonging.
