Summary
Fields for President by W.C. Fields
Illustrated Edition — Commentary & Photograph Selection by Michael M. Taylor
Dodd, Mead & Company, 1971 — Fourth Printing
Hardcover with dust jacket — Near Fine, Brodart-protected
W.C. Fields, master of deadpan comedy and razor-sharp wit, turns his humor toward politics in this timeless satirical gem. Fields for President imagines the beloved comedian as a U.S. presidential candidate—complete with outrageous promises, irreverent policy ideas, and his trademark cynicism about government, human nature, and everyday life.
This 1971 illustrated edition features photographic stills from Fields’ career, hand-selected by author and commentator Michael M. Taylor, whose notes provide historical context and a deeper look at Fields’ comedic persona. The result is a delightful blend of political spoof, Hollywood history, and classic Fields humor.
This copy is in exceptional near-fine condition, with a clean, bright dust jacket now protected in Brodart archival covering. A standout addition for collectors of film history, political satire, and vintage American humor.
