His Lordship's Dilemma

His Lordship's Dilemma is a 1915 silent short comedy film produced by the Gaumont Film Company and distributed by the Mutual Film Corporation. The film stars W.C. Fields as a remittance man, and part of the film includes an adaptation of the comedian's famous golf routine.[1]

Supporting players include Bud Ross, who had also appeared with Fields in Pool Sharks that same year; and Fields' brother Walter, in his only known film appearance, listed in various sources as Walter Dukinfield or Walter Fields (the family name is usually rendered as Dukenfield).

Preservation status

"His Lordship's Dilemma" is considered a lost film. Rumors of an extant print with French intertitles screened in Belgium in 2006 or earlier are hearsay and have not been substantiated.
