W. C. Fields - "The Golf Specialist" 1930
The Golf Specialist is a 1930 comedy short subject from RKO Pictures, starring W. C. Fields. It was his first talkie.   The film features lines such as "I would never hit a woman, not even my own mother." The Golf Specialist was a funny movie for the time it was made. It has some material that may be considered offensive today: for instance, there is one scene where Fields is wanted by the police, and they show his list of crimes and one of the crimes is "Teaching an Indian the facts of life." J. Effingham Bellweather (W. C. Fields) is a guest in a hotel, where he meets the House Detective’s Wife (Shirley Grey) who likes to flirt with other men. After brief encounters with a little girl (Naomi Casey) and the House Detective (John Dunsmuir), Bellweather offers to teach the Detective's Wife how to play golf. The two of them and their Caddy (Al Wood) go out to the golf course, but Bellweather never gets to hit the ball; his lessons are being constantly interrupted by such distractions as the Caddy's squeaking shoes, pieces of paper being blown by the wind into his path, accidentally stepping into a pie that the Caddy had brought, et cetera. At the end, the police and the House Detective come out to the course to arrest con artist Bellweather for a list of absurd crimes; the police put handcuffs on him just as he's showing the Detective's Wife the importance of keeping the wrists close together while gripping the club.
