Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are the most famous comedy duo in history, and deservedly so, so I am happy to see any of their films. Ollie and Stan are trying to sleep in a room-to-rent, but Ollie has the sniffles, so he can't stop coughing, and sneezing, causing a blind to unravel, and a picture to fall. Stan makes his cold worse when putting the picture back on the wall, he hammers into the drainage, causing a leak, and Ollie needs a foot bath. Stan goes to get it, and manages to get sticky stuff on his fingers, and on his sock, but he does get the foot bath, throat medicine, and mustard to go into the bath. Ollie manages to swallow the cotton filled with throat medicine, and his feet are smothered in the foot bath filled with thick mustard, and getting back into bed, he and Stan manage to flatten it with their weight, and when Ollie tries to blow it back up, he sucks in the air, expanding his front. Soon enough the Landlord comes in to tell them to be quiet, and again after they can't stay on the bed they've blown up too far and can't stay on, and the Landlord (Charlie Hall) manages to land into the thick mustard, and while fetching the police, Ollie and Stan get into the bed, which is slowly blowing up with more air, till it reaches the ceiling, and it explodes with Ollie's sneeze. Filled with wonderful slapstick and all classic comedy you could want from a black and white film, it is an enjoyable film. Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy were number 7 on The Comedians' Comedian. Very good!
