⭐ Featured Review

Brilliantly constructed silent comedy short with Laurel & Hardy for the first time together as a comical duo.
by Boba_Fett11382006-04-03
10/10

"This is not the funniest Laurel & Hardy comedy short but still it's a great movie due to the way the movie is constructed. This was not the first movie with starring both Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in it (they both appeared before in the movies " 45 Minutes from Hollywood" and " A Lucky dog".) but it was the first movie of the two appearing as a comical duo. Therefor this movie already is a bit of a must-see. It's an historical significant movie, that marked one of the very first step of silent-movie history. No, it certainly ain't an hilarious movie ..."
