Review of Pool Sharks

Pool Sharks (1915)
Who's the co-star?
29 January 2004
This is a great film, I've had it on tape for some 20 years. By chance, could W. C. Field's co-star be the all time great Edgar Kennedy? There's no mistaking his bald head! While watching this, there's no hint that's him until the end when his hat comes off. Anyone out there correct me if I'm wrong, I think it's him. I think Edgar Kennedy is as good as an actor if not better than W. C. He has played in far many films and different roles than Fields. I've seen him play a gangster and in dramatic roles not as a comic. This guy deserves better recognition than he appears to have today. It's a real shame he died at a rather young age of 58 years in 1948; he really could of been a real hit on television. IMDb fails to point out the fact that he was the brother of Tom Kennedy who was almost as good as him.
