A Good Start To Check Out The Boys
There are a lot of funny scenes squeezed into one of the thinest “plots” you’ll ever see in a story. Our heroes – Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy – simply want to go to the annual convention of their group – “The Sons Of The Desert” and want their wives’ approval to make the trip. As it turns out, they go anyway and, well, it’s one wild scene after another.

Along the way, we see all the trademarks of these two famous comedians: Laurel scratching his head, crying when in trouble, having the better heart of the two and providing some clever slapstick and dialog. Hardy does his normal routine, too, with the dirty looks, the scheming and the pratfalls.

The women are the bosses and Hardy’s wife is the toughest of the two, throwing plates at Olllie’s head! These are tough old bags.

Oddly enough, on the second viewing of this film I found a bit slow going, which I didn’t find the first time. Charley Chase, a famous silent comedian, is also in the film as are a few things you wouldn’t associate with Laurel & Hardy: some sexual stuff! Really! There is a dance number in the middle of the film where I swear I saw a see-through blouse on the main dancer. Also, there was a play- on-words here about some woman “who likes to pump the organ.” Well, this film was made a year or so before the Hays’ Code went into effect.

At any rate, if you have never seen the famous duo, this is a good place to start.

Honolulu Baby!
As members of the mason mens club The Sons Of The Desert, Stan & Ollie are desperate to go away to one of the clubs conventions in Chicago. This idea is given the no no from the boys’ wives N/A, so Ollie fakes ill health and the boys wangle a supposed sea voyage to aid his recovery. Of course they head to Chicago for their boys own fun, unbeknown to them that the ship they had told their wives they were travelling on has sunk at sea!

I think this stands the test of time as one of the best Laurel & Hardy pictures because it’s one of the most professional that they made. Laurel wasn’t wholly satisfied with a couple of preceding features that they did, he felt it was becoming slapstick for slapstick’s sake, so in came a new writing team to work with him to give us a tighter character driven laugh fest.

The films main triumph is the integration and impact of the wives, they add greatly to the comedy with sparky dialogue and visual madness. So many great moments that I don’t wish to point any single one out, you just need to see it and enjoy. The songs are fun, the narrative is as tidy as they would do, and the underlying honesty is the best policy message is one we all should heed. 9/10.
