Great Laurel-Finlayson comedy
18 June 2007
Yes Oliver Hardy did have a sort of cameo but the stars of this Roach comedy is james Finlayson who starred in a series of comedies in the mid twenties. Here Satn is Fins assistant and Satn has to distract Mae Bush not to cause havoc at Finlayson house. This film would be remade with Hardy in place of Fin and Finlayson in place of Charlie Hall as the butler. It was entitled Chickens come Home and is one of if not the best laurel and Hardy comedy. Differences between the two films was in Love em and weep Stan takes Mae to the pink pup. Plus the scene when they take out the passed out Bush drags on way too long. Nevertheless a great silent comedy. It is available on The Lost films of Laurel and Hardy volume 3.
