Review of Bonnie Scotland

Just rewatched this Laurel & Hardy feature on DVD. It has Stan & Ollie going to Scotland to claim an inheritance for Stan but it's not what they think. I'll stop there and just say that while the boys have plenty of funny scenes, the sequences involving the juvenile leads of William Janney and June Lang are for the birds and rarely involve the comedy team, in fact, Ms. Lang has no scenes with them and never even met them! No wonder Ms. Lang and Janney have no final romantic clinch here. Enough about them and let's just also note the welcome support turns by Daphne Pollard and especially James Finlayson, always a welcome sight in these L & H pictures. So on that note, Bonnie Scotland is still a worthy movie for fans of the boys. P.S. I'd also recommend the commentary track provided by Leonard Maltin and Richard W. Bann that accompanies this DVD especially when they talk about the guy who provided the special effects here, Roy Seawright.
