Whilst being a little dated, this movie still sparkles thanks to the brilliance of Laurel and Hardy ably assisted by an excellent supporting cast including Dennis King and Thelma Todd.
This is a period piece which is high camp and laugh out loud material. Our famous duo are used as "patsies" by a wicked con man masquerading as royalty.
The film once again illustrates that Laurel and Hardy, who are hilarious together in the picture, and are without doubt amongst the funniest artists ever to grace the movie world; the likes of say Adam Sandler and others, whom I consider not in the least amusing, and those of the same ilk, can see for themselves what being funny is all about.
At least: 7/10.
