About The Barber Shop
An inept barber maintains his good-humored optimism in his small town shop despite having a hen-pecking harridan for a wife and a total lack of sartorial skill.
Directed by Arthur Ripley, The Barber Shop leans on a strong ensemble — W.C. Fields, Elise Cavanna, Harry Watson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1933.
