Just watching this film on the Talking Pictures TV channel, I don't know this movie. I am a huge Stan and Ollie fan, and have seen far too few of their movies and simply couldn't resist viewing it.
Frankly I am ashamed of the atrocious rating for this movie here on IMDb, I can only assume it's culled from the abysmal reviews.
To my mind Laurel and Hardy still outshine a large percentage, of the tat that passes for 'comedy' these days. Their movies are still funnier than a great amount, of 'comedy' dross that the film industry still try and palm us off with. As a Brit I have to say that the absolute worst culprits, are the American film companies.
Fox wanted 'commercial $ makers and their 21st century compatriots, are still up to the same fiscal shenanigans.
There is nothing new in either the film nor TV industries, profit motives before quality every time.
But with Laurel and Hardy their comedic quality will always shine through, and frankly continues to transcend time itself.
