Man on the Flying Trapeze (UK title: The Memory Expert) is a 1935 American comedy film starring W. C. Fields as a henpecked husband who experiences a series of misadventures while taking a day off from work to attend a wrestling match. As with his other roles of this nature, Fields is put-upon throughout the film, but triumphs in the end. This was the final film directed by Clyde Bruckman.
