Review of Jitterbugs

Jitterbugs (1943)
6/10
Routine L & H entry
11 July 2021
Con man Chester Wright (Bob Bailey) rescues stranded musicians Stan (Stan Laurel) and Ollie (Oliver Hardy) in the desert when their car breaks down. After using the boys in a few con acts, the men escape together in a trailer -- where they discover Susan Cowan (Vivian Blaine), whose purse Chester stole. When Chester discovers that Susan's mother has been swindled by professionals, he and the boys set out to pursue the con men to New Orleans, where they also turn Susan into a singing star.

Not as funny as the other L & H entries, yet still fun and entertaining. Stan Laurel dressed as Ollie's mother was a hoot - there are plenty of songs sung by the leading lady between the hi-jinks and humorous situation. Not as sharp as other L & H entries but it's still fun.
