My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

The Bank Dick (1940)

I prefer W.C. Fields’ film The Gift more but there are some clever gags in this farce about a bumbling loser father who ends up becoming the head of security for a bank after “accidently” catching a bank robber. The best part of the film is Mr. Sousé family; they’re despicable and hilarious. I almost wished they could have been the center of the film instead of the bank plot line. Grade: B+
