Review of A Pair of Tights

Anyone who says Laurel and Hardy were intended for the parts played by Kennedy and Erwin has never seen this picture. Ed and Stu do very little other than drive around looking for a place to park; the majority of the comedy is handled by Peanuts Byron with some support from Anita Garvin, especially in the first reel. Her attempts at getting ice cream cones. continually thwarted by bratty Spec O'Donnell, provide the highlight of the movie. A good "tit for tat" sequence at the end may reinforce the L&H theory, but remember this is a Roach product, with Roach gag men. All else aside, this is a very funny picture available on YouTube and worth your twenty minutes.
