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] It was directed by William F. Haddock.
Supporting players include Bud Ross, who also appeared with Fields in Pool Sharks earlier the 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).
