Apparently released in both silent and sound versions, the print watched was silent. Laurel & Hardy borrow a leaf out of Harold Lloyd's book and teeter precariously on the steel girders of a partially built skyscraper for this 1929 short comedy. It's hair-raising stuff, and the duo milk the situation for all it's worth. Although less spectacular, the first half of the film, in which they repeatedly attempt to exchange trousers, is equally funny.
