War Is Heck

Jimmy Aubrey and best friend Elmer Redmond quarrel. So they each go to join the army, winding up on different sides of the war. Whenever they meet they fight over whether Aubrey&apos;s cavalry hobby horse is better than Redmond&apos;s toy saber, and similar matters of equally great importance.

The serious part of this short comedy is that war is senseless and futile and childish and stuff like that. To that end, the leads mug it up past Keystone levels, to the point where it is a toss-up whether it&apos;s funny, annoying or both.

I looked at a copy of this that had been translated into French, and it made me wonder if there were changes made to the titles that altered this movie entirely. Initially, the buddies quarrel over what the best cheese is. Would an examination of an American print (if any still exist?) reveal a change?
