Delightful characterizations by L &amp; H makes this film charming

Although lacking in much of the standard L &amp; H humor, this film has other merits going for it. Ollie&apos;s impersonation of Southern gentleman Colonel Watterson Bixby of Amadillo County, Texas offers him the felicitous opportunity to play a character close to his own Southern upbringing. Once again in drag, Stan&apos;s characterization of Bostonian dowager, Emily Cartwright, offers him the joyous occasion of reusing his Lord Paddinton upper-crust accent tempered with a slight nuance of local Boston color. The scenes in which they appear are a sheer delight chiefly because they carry it off with such finesse and aplomb. Fans may be disappointed at the lack of the usual slapstick, but Stan and Ollie are so splendid in the roles within roles that they more than easily compensate for it. This film as well as &quot;The Bullfighters&quot;, with its more tried and true formula, make these two outings the best of their Twentieth Century Fox excursion.
